Online info session, Thursday, December 1, 2 p.m. EST Register by emailing Robyn Angley (rangley(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:rangley@fas.harvard.edu>) by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, November 30. The Fellows Program brings together scholars at early and later stages in their careers to consider a common theme spanning the social sciences and humanities. The program is coordinated by faculty from across Harvard University whose research interests include aspects of the selected theme. In 2012-2013, the Fellows Program will be coordinated by Professors Tim Colton (Government) and Serhii Plokhii (History). The theme for 2012-2013 is "Imperial Legacies and International Politics in the Post-Soviet Space." Areas to be explored under this theme include history, identity issues, security, political economy, and regime building in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries of the region. Other topics of interest include social and cultural factors such as migration, public health, religion, organized crime, environmental degradation, popular culture, and the mass media. In addition to pursuing their own research, Fellows will participate in a bi-weekly interdisciplinary seminar series that will explore the theme. Papers will be presented by the visiting Fellows, Harvard faculty, and invited outside speakers. For more detailed information on the Fellows Program, and opportunities to apply for regional, postdoctoral, and senior fellowships, please visit the Davis Center web site, http://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu.

12/1 and 12/15: Collaborators (a widely praised new play set in 1938 Moscow) broadcasted at Coolidge Corner Theatre

by Davis Center Calendar of Events

The Coolidge Corner Theatre will present high-definition broadcasts of the National Theatre of London's acclaimed production of Collaborators on Thursday, December 1 and Thursday, December 15 at 7:00 pm. These broadcasts are part of NT Live, a series of plays filmed live at the National Theatre and transmitted to cinema screens worldwide. Collaborators is set in Moscow, 1938 - a dangerous place to have a sense of humor; even more so, a sense of freedom. Mikhail Bulgakov (Alex Jennings), living among dissidents, stalked by secret police, has both. And then he's offered a poisoned chalice: a commission to write a play about Stalin (Simon Russell Beale) to celebrate his sixtieth birthday. Inspired by historical fact, Collaborators embarks on a surreal journey into the fevered imagination of the writer as he loses himself in a macabre and disturbingly funny relationship with the omnipotent subject of his drama. John Hodge's blistering new play depicts a lethal game of cat and mouse, scrutinizing the compromises and humiliations inflicted on artists by those with power. Directed by National Theatre Artistic Director Nicholas Hytner, Collaborators has garnered raves in the British press. In its four-star review, The Times called it "Rare and special...An absurdly fantastic view of Stalin, and it's seriously funny." For more information and to purchase tickets ($20 general admission/$17 Coolidge members), visit www.coolidge.org/content/collaborators<http://www.coolidge.org/content/collaborators<http://www.coolidge.org/content/collaborators%3chttp:/www.coolidge.org/cont…>>. Tickets are also available at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard Street, Brookline. Advance purchase is strongly recommended. --- Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies Harvard University 1730 Cambridge Street, 3rd Floor Cambridge, MA 02138 T 617.495.4037 F 617.495.8319 http://www.daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu<http://www.daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/>
