Following several requests I’ve received, from now on, through the ES/PE blog will be also distributed practical and relevant academic updates such as calls for papers for conferences and workshops, graduate and post-doc fellowships, grants and job openings announcements. Up to now this kind of information was posted only on our social media networks. I hope this new feature will be of great help and interest for you. Feel free to share this post with your colleagues and students. Good luck, Oleg Komlik

• CfP: The third Critical European Studies Workshop, the University of Greenwich, (London), 18-19 June, 2016. This year’s workshop will focus on Europe’s crises (economic, social, political) and their consequences, forms of dispossession and punitive mechanisms under neoliberalism; challenges to class compromises and social reproduction; and more. In order to foster a constructive debate the workshop will avoid the ‘usual’ conference structure with individual paper presentations and foregrounds collective discussions instead. We will proceed on the basis of thematic block sessions, with each tabling a core text that all participants will have read beforehand. The workshop is open and free of charge (registration is required) to scholars (including MA and PhD students) and activists.
