Divided Societies

In 1991, the Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies organised with the help of its scientific adviser dr Silva Mežnarić and in cooperation with professors Otto Feinstein (Wayne State University), Heribert Adam (Simon Fraser University) and Kogila Moodly (University of British Columbia) the course „Divided Societies“ at the Interuniversity Centre (IUC) in Dubrovnik. The objective of this course was to gather all important lecturers and researchers in the field of ethnicity, to concentrate and pass on all available knowledge and data to active young researchers from the region and the world, and to compare ethnic conflicts and divisions in different parts of the world. What made the course even more interesting was the fact that it was organised in a region which once again became relevant to those who study ethnicity, nations, nationalism and trans nationalisation. However, the activities of the IUC and the course itself have been suspended due to the war and the occupation of Dubrovnik and were re-launched in 1997. Since 2000, the course „Divided Societies“ has been held regularly in April or May at the IUC in Dubrovnik, gathering lecturers and researchers of all generations and from different parts of the world, as well as postgraduate students and motivated graduates of the University of Zagreb, University of Zadar, Wayne State University from Detroit, University College Dublin and numerous other universities from Europe, Canada, the USA etc.
