The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars together with the Government of Quebec is pleased to announce the Gerin-Lajoie Quebec-US Internship Program. Open to upper division, undergraduate and graduate students with a working knowledge of French and a desire to explore Quebec-US relations, the Gerin-Lajoie Quebec-US Internship Program offers an unique opportunity. Students will intern in various offices within the Quebec Government. This summer marks the 400th anniversary of the founding of Quebec, and will offer the trainees an exciting cultural celebration. Five top candidates will be selected with two alternates. The Government of Quebec and The Washington Center will award five (5) Gerin-Lajoie Fellowships, which provides single-unit housing at Laval University and reduced fees. Orientation is in Washington, DC for two days prior to arrival in Quebec. The Gerin-Lajoie Fellowship also covers airfare and accommodation in Washington, DC. Academic credit may be available from home US institutions.
The Gerin-Lajoie Quebec-US Internship Program will provide a valuable insight into Quebec society, its political institutions, economy, and culture. Students will be housed on Laval University campus and participate in seminars, workshops and cultural events in addition to the on-the-job training. The program is twelve weeks long beginning on 19 May and ending on 8 August 2008. The Washington Center will review applicants and submit top candidates to the Government of Quebec Office in Washington, DC. We are accepting applications now, on a rolling basis through Wednesday, 23 April 2008. Successful candidates will be notified by Monday 28 April 2008. To submit an application, please include a letter of intent, resume, academic transcript, and two letters of reference to Ms. Sonia Ziade at The Washington Center, 1333-16th St. NW Washington, DC 20036. Ms. Ziade may be reached via email at soniaz@twc.edu <mailto:soniaz@twc.edu> or by phone at 202 238 7955. The Gerin-Lajoie Quebec-US Internship Program is reasonably priced at $6,990US. The Gerin-Lajoie Fellowship provides an award which includes housing, DC training, placement, training and seminars. The fees after the Gerin-Lajoie Fellowship are $3,425. Interns are responsible for their transportation to Quebec from Washington, DC and their per diem costs while in the Program. The cost of living in Quebec is considerably more affordable than comparable world-class cities. Payment is due to The Washington Center upon notification of acceptance into the program. We value the work that your organization does to inform US students about the important role Quebec plays in North America and the world community and trust you will share with us in supporting the Gerin-Lajoie Quebec-US Internship Program. Please let me know if you have any questions about this significant opportunity. Sincerely yours, Peter J.

This journal, for which leading articles receive upwards of 15,000 hits, is devoted to the utopian idea of america, and also to the compendium of “Americas”, so the goal of this issue is to think about radicalism throughout the Americas, but also radicalism per se. As such, pieces on radicalism from historical, theoretical, sociological, literary (etc.) approaches in any country in the americas would work, as would of course anything on radicalism in different countries in the americas — or work relating radicalism in a country of the americas to its related work elsewhere (the Russian roots of American radicalism, and that type of thing). information: Robert Barsky, robert.barsky@vanderbilt.edu journal: www.ameriquests.org Postdoctoral Fellowship
