American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages, University of Colorado - Boulder, USA

April 4, 2017
"Dear Minister Balog,
I am the President of the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages, and on behalf of my organization I wish to express solidarity with Central European University and express concern at proposed legislative changes to CEU’s status in Hungary. These changes would endanger the academic freedom vital for CEU’s continued operation in Budapest and would strike a blow against the academic freedom that enables all universities, including those in Hungary, to flourish."

Global Medieval Studies at Penn stands with CEU

The Penn Global Medieval Studies faculty and students express solidarity with Central European University and voice their concern at the proposed legislative changes to CEU’s status in Hungary. These changes would endanger the academic freedom vital for CEU’s continued operation and would strike a blow against the academic freedom that enables many institutions of higher education to flourish. It would also set a dangerous precedent for academic life in other countries.

PhD student invited to ERC conference on “Lived Ancient Religion”

March 20, 2017

We were happy to be informed that one of our PhD students, Nirvana Silnovic, was formally ivited to the international conference “Leaving the (disciplinary) comfort zone – Lived Ancient Religion AD 1 to 800”, to be held at the University of Erfurt, Germany, in early April. The ERC Advanced Grant project on which the conference focuses takes a completely new perspective on the religious history of Mediterranean antiquity, starting from the individual and "lived" religion instead of cities or peoples.
