At the same time, thousands of Balkan Roma have emigrated westward due to deteriorating living conditions, and entrenched stereotypes of criminality have arisen amidst deportations and harassment. In this heightened atmosphere of xenophobia, Roma, as Europe?s largest minority and its quintessential ?other,? face the paradox that they are revered for their music and dance yet reviled as people. Balkan Romani music and dance are simultaneously professions, commodities, symbols of identity, and tools of multiculturalism in heritage discourse. Focusing on communities, clubs, and festivals in Europe as well as the US, this illustrated ethnographic presentation investigates the ramifications of these phenomena for Romani performers and non-Romani musicians and dancers, producers, audiences and marketers.

An award-winning Professor Emerita of cultural anthropology and folklore at the University of Oregon, she teaches and writes about Balkan music, festivals, cultural policy, and human rights issues among Roma.

More specifically, the Robert L. and Phyllis J. Iles Award for Graduate Study of Myth, which is administrated by the CSR, has been established to make an annual award of up to $2000 each spring to a graduate student in the Division of the Arts and Humanities in support of that student?s research on myth. The award shall be supplemented by $1000 from the Division of the Arts and Humanities and by up to $1000 from the student?s home department, for a possible total of up to $4000. Studies of myth from any culture in any period of human history are eligible for consideration. For the purposes of this award, a ?myth? is ?a story that is sacred to and shared by a group of people who find important meaning in it, as conveyed through narrative, art or ritual.? Eligible projects include, but are not limited to: the relationship between myths and religious practices, the uses of myth in literary and artistic productions, and the reuse of one culture?s myths by other cultures. Possible approaches include, but are not limited to, the anthropological, the literary, the historical, and the folkloristic, as well as creative approaches that aim to re-present a myth as part of a new artistic product. Candidates will be selected based on merit, although some preference will be given to proposals that cite specific need for funding for travel or other expenses related to research or to the performance or production of other artistic projects. Preference will be given to candidates whose projects are part of a doctoral dissertation (with exceptions granted for students in departments that offer only a master?s degree). Application Procedure and Deadline: Applications should be submitted through the webform linked here and should include the following: 1. a 1200-word description of the project (with a suitable project title) and how the fellowship would aid it, including a statement of how much work has already been done on the project and how much would be completed during the fellowship period; 2. a letter of support from the student?s advisor;? 3. a letter from the chair of the student?s department, agreeing to supplement the award by a specified amount of up to $1000; 4. a curriculum vitae of up to two pages, including publications and presentations. 5. [OPTIONAL] where appropriate, an explanation of how the funding will be spent (e.g. travel, cost of artistic or research materials, etc.) Applications for the fellowship must be made in advance of expenditures (there will be no post-facto awards); the funds must be spent within 12 months of the fellowship being awarded. The CSR reserves the right not to award a fellowship in a given year if none of the applications are deemed eligible. Any unused available balance will be reinvested into the principal amount of the Iles Fund. If selected for the award, the recipient shall submit to the director of CSR a 500-word essay on the state of their research or some other aspect of the way they spent the funding that can be used as a news item on the CSR website or in other CSR materials, and a photo of either the recipient or some aspect of his or her project. The application deadline for the 2021/2022 Iles Award is Friday, February 18, 2022. Please contact the Humanities Center Consortium's administrative coordinator Nick Spitulski (spitulski.1 at osu.edu) with any questions. Cheers, Savannah Savannah H.
