Dear colleagues,

I would like to direct your attention to the International Summer School on the Americas organized by the Center for Inter-American Studies at the University of Graz, Austria.

July 15-29, 2012, Seggau Castle, Leibnitz, Austria

Although the official application deadline has passed, we have a few open spots in each one of the thematic seminars. I would appreciate if you could spread the word among your students and motivate them to take part in out program. The seminars approach Inter-American Studies from different vantage points and I believe that especially our seminar in American Indian Studies, taught by international colleagues Jochen Kemner (Bielefeld University, Germany) and James Blasingame (Arizona State University, Tempe, USA), could be of interest to your students in American Indian Studies.

All relevant information regarding the program as well as the links to our website can be found below. The paragraph can be copied and forwarded to potential students.

Please feel free to contact me or my colleague Manuela Dorsch ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) with any questions that you might have about our program!

I am looking forward to seeing many of you at the AIW next week in Zurich!

Best wishes,
Heidi
