Request for Applications: 2017 P&F ProjectsSECIM now accepting applications The Southeast Center for Integrated Metabolomics (SECIM) is pleased to invite applications for the 2017 Pilot & Feasibility Project Awards, which provide up to $50,000 per award in support of 12-month metabolomics projects. Applications are due Thursday, March 16, 2017. Visit SECIM’s website for further details: http://secim.ufl.edu/pilot-funding/ While proposals of up to $50,000 in total costs will be accepted, SECIM is dedicated to funding as many unique and innovative projects as possible with goals of expanding the center’s capabilities and enhancing metabolomics research capacity across the nation. Thus, applications requesting $35,000 or less will receive preference over those with higher budgets. The purpose of the Pilot and Feasibility Program is to enhance metabolomics research by providing support for investigators new to the metabolomics field, the development of new teams and partnerships, and high-risk/high-impact research. The Pilot and Feasibility Program aims to form new multidisciplinary collaborations that will enhance the integration of new techniques that benefit multiple investigators. Applications from basic, translational, and clinical researchers are welcomed. Young investigators and investigators who are new to the field of metabolomics are especially encouraged to apply. |

Warriors in Drag: Ottoman Prisoners of War Camp Theaters in Russia and Egypt, 1914-1921
Yücel Yanıkdağ (University of Richmond)
During the First World War, nearly 250,000 Ottoman soldiers became prisoners of war. The British held over 150,000 of them in Egypt. Russians interned 90,000 other Ottomans throughout their empire. With much time on their hands, especially the officer prisoners turned to cultural activities, including theater, to bring some semblance of normality to their lives. This talk examines those theaters the Ottoman prisoners of war organized in captivity. More than just a way to pass the tedium of captivity life, theater became a survival strategy. It was a therapeutic activity which allowed the prisoners to survive emotionally, psychologically, and even physically. In the homosocial environment of the prison camps, officers-turned-actors dressed in drag to perform women’s roles in dramas and comedies. Because the plays represented the home life and idealized traditional gender roles, female impersonation helped prisoners define, heal and reassert their masculinity in relation to women.
Yücel Yanıkdağ is an Associate Professor of History and International Studies at the University of Richmond. His first book, Healing the Nation: Prisoners of War, Medicine and Nationalism in Turkey, 1914-1939, was published by the Edinburgh University Press in 2013. He is currently working on a new book, which will be a cultural and social history of the Ottomans in the First World War.
This event is free and open to the public.
