以下是转发的两则学术信息，都是关于2009年的博士生暑期课程项目，地点分别是在荷兰和丹麦。

[题外话：在转贴信息前，也想问问OhMyMedia的读者们，你们觉得这种信息有必要贴吗？欧美学术界的信息分发渠道一直不错，通过各种学会、高校、邮件组的邮件列表，欧美的媒介与传播研究及有关学科的会议征稿、讲座活动、暑假学期等信息被送往每个订阅者。我一直觉得可能中国的研究者们也会对有关的信息感兴趣，但又总是想，是不是大家也已经通过各种方式得到有关信息了呢？此外，一些在欧洲的研讨会、暑假学期，对于身处中国的我们，如果没有经费支持，也就不太可能参与了。所以也借本文，了解一下研究生和青椒（青年教师）们的想法，欢迎留言。]

第一则：

We are very proud to present the first CAMCAS Summer Institute on Popular Culture and the City, which will be held at the Graduate School of Social Sciences at the University of Amsterdam, NL from July 7- 22, 2009.

Amsterdam is a vibrant city with a rich cultural-historical heritage, a substantial creative industry and a diverse cultural life. Its inhabitants are a colorful mix of different cultures and lifestyles. In short, Amsterdam is the perfect testing ground to study and to explore popular culture. We will examine theories and concepts on media, entertainment and popular culture in an urban setting and explain the different research methods used in media, cultural and urban studies. We will discuss how city life is represented in popular culture and how popular culture moulds and forms urban life. We will describe the different subcultures among urban youth and take a closer look at the creative industry and the music scene.

This Summer Institute offers students of various disciplines, but with an interest in media, cultural and urban studies, a great opportunity to study and to explore Amsterdam. The Institute is an intensive and active two-week summer programme that seeks to provide an interdisciplinary approach to the study of urban popular culture and to promote opportunities for international networking among participants.

Deadline for Applications is May 1st, 2009.
