OSTRAKON - AIE'S NEW OPEN ACCESS SMALL-FORMAT IMPRINT

Academy in Exile announces the publication of the first issue of Ostrakon, AiE’s
new open access small-format imprint.



Its first issue, X-ist, edited by AiE fellow Ahmad Moradi, is inspired by a
collaborative art project on the ways in which nature and imaging technologies
like x-rays record the perils of crossing Europe's external borders (Moradi and
Hassanzadeh 2017). The essays in X-ist take their cue from the art project and
engage with the intricacies of borders and what they give rise to or deny.

Contributors: Stef Jansen (University of Sarajevo), Madeleine Reeves (University
of Oxford), Juli Perczel (University of Manchester), and Claudia Tazreiter
(University Linköping).

Academy in Exile offers scholars who are threatened in their home countries
because of their academic or civic engagement for human rights, peace and
democracy the opportunity to resume their research abroad.

Academy in Exile provides a forum for reflecting on the pressing challenges to
intellectual life, critical thinking, reason, social justice and diversity that
are facing us today and that define the parameters of academy freedom.

Academy in Exile fellowships afford scholars the opportunity to continue their
careers in Germany and to work on a research project of their own choosing in a
multidisciplinary environment. Fellows contribute to and shape the research
agenda and intellectual profile of the Academy generally.

Academy in Exile was founded in 2017 as a joint initiative of the Institute for
Turkish Studies at the University of Duisburg-Essen, the Institute for Advanced
Study in the Humanities (KWI) Essen and the Forum Transregionale Studien Berlin.
The Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin and the Volkswagen Foundation provided the
start-up funding. IIE-SRF and the Freudenberg Foundation granted further
funding. Since early 2019, Academy in Exile hosts a new cohort of scholars at
the Freie Universität Berlin with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

FELLOWSHIPS

Academy in Exile is based on a proven model that creates multidisciplinary
cohorts of scholars around a unified theme, with the aim of enabling persecuted
scholars to collaborate with each other. As of April 2022, a total of 56
scholars were awarded with long-term fellowships of 12 to 24 months or with
short-term emergency stipends of three months.

ONLINE COURSES

Online courses developed by Academy in Exile are being co-authored by scholars
banished from academic life in their home countries. Across borders and
disciplines, scholars collaborate to shape widely accessible, pioneering
pedagogical tools for higher education. The first courses were offered online in
2019. All course videos can be accessed here.

CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS

Academy in Exile creates public fora for the dissemination of its intellectual
work. An inaugural international conference was held in October 18-19, 2018 at
the Kulturwissenschaftliches Institut in Essen (KWI) on the topic of “Exile and
Academic Freedom Today”. A diverse audience of scholars, students, and members
of the public shared theoretical and personal insights into exile and reported
on threats to academic freedom around the globe. The conference also created a
particular synergy for identifying gaps in the existing support mechanisms for
exiled scholars, and for discussing new models of support such as the one
provided by Academy in Exile.  Click here for the conference program.

Academy in Exile hosted a second international conference on “Critical Thinking”
on January 16 and 17, 2020 at Freie Universität Berlin. Click here for the
conference program.

Academy in Exile’s third international conference on “The Unrecognized Genocide:
Dersim 1937–1938” took place on November 18-20, 2021. Click here for the
conference program.

PUBLICATIONS

Academy in Exile started a series with transcript to publish monographs and
edited volumes, edited by Vanessa Agnew (Universität Duisburg-Essen/ The
Australian National University), Kader Konuk (Universität Duisburg-Essen), and
Egemen Özbek (Universität Duisburg-Essen). The first volume of the series
entitled Refugee Routes (2020) is edited by Vanessa Agnew, Kader Konuk, and Jane
O. Newman (University of California Irvine). A new volume, Academics in Exile,
is edited by Vera Axyonova (Universität Wien), Florian Kohstall (Freie
Universität Berlin), and Carola Richter (Freie Universität Berlin) and was
published in June 2022.
