<p><b>Branding the past and producing locality: the case of
post-German heritage in Poland</b><br>
</p>
<p>Call for Research Trainees<br>
</p>
<p>The Warsaw-based Foundation for Landscape Protection and
Promotion of Regions NUMINOSUM and the Chair of Public History at
the Bielefeld University are looking for two Research Trainees for
the project “Branding the past and producing locality: the case of
post-German heritage in Poland.”<br>
</p>
<p>The aim of this project is to explore the entanglements between
public history, cultural heritage and branding – both in theory
and in practice. By focusing on cultural heritage left behind by
Germans after their flight and expulsion from those parts of East
Prussia that have become part of Poland in 1945, we will deal with
the most<br>
extensive and complex instance of cultural succession in post-war
Europe. Theoretically, we will engage with seminal readings on
cultural heritage, branding and the “production of locality”
(Appadurai). Empirically, we will collect and analyse material
related to selected cases of using post-German heritage in
north-eastern Poland.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Your responsibilities:</b><br>
• data collection during a research trip to Masuria in early June
2023 (one week)<br>
• desktop research preceding and following the research trip<br>
• participation in a public event presenting the outcomes of the
project<br>
</p>
<p><b>Your essential qualifications:</b><br>
• enrolment in a MA-program or PhD studies at a German university<br>
• good command of English<br>
• historical and/or anthropological imagination<br>
• desire to gain practical research experience in an intercultural
context<br>
• strong interpersonal skills<br>
Your optional qualifications:<br>
• familiarity with the contemporary history of East Central Europe<br>
• command of Polish<br>
</p>
<p><b>Our offer:</b><br>
• insights into a highly innovative, interdisciplinary and
intercultural research project<br>
• opportunity to get essential research skills at the intersection
of history and anthropology<br>
• fully paid one-week research trip to Poland<br>
• further training opportunities including an intense workshop in
project management<br>
</p>
<p>Applications including a CV as well as a motivation letter shall
be sent until 20 April 2023 to the convenors of the project
Wojciech Bedyński (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:w.bedynski@uw.edu.pl">w.bedynski@uw.edu.pl</a>) and Kornelia Kończal
