John Kazickas enjoyed the opportunity to attend the presentations of two Dr. Joseph P. Kazickas Post-Doctoral visiting fellows at Yale. Jolanta Mickute and Vaidotas Vaicaitis are talented scholars who gave a most interesting review of their work during the Baltic Studies Lecture series at Yale.


Jolanta Mickute, who is Assistant Professor of History at Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas, Lithuania, talked on "On Polish Zionism and Its Women, or How Traditional "Jewish Daughters" Turned Pioneer (1918-1939)," while Vaidotas Vaicaitis, Associate Professor of Law at Vilnius University, talked on "The Concept of Constitutionalism in Contemporary Lithuania."

 

Both fellows will continue their work at Yale till the end of spring semester. Applicants for the year 2017-2018 can apply through the Interfolio site.

 

"We are happy to support scholars efforts and grateful to Yale for hosting them through the JPK Yale endowment fund for Lithuanian and Baltic Studies," shares John Kazickas.
