The Regional Studies Center (RSC) is pleased to invite you to a special presentation and discussion on Tues day, 20 August at 14:00, to be held in the Golden Tulip Hotel’s Vivaldi Room.

The Regional Studies Center (RSC) is pleased to host Karolina Pawłowska, a Resident Fellow at the RSC, for her presentation of the findings from her six-month research project in Armenia entitled, “ Cultural Continuum or Cultural Shock? An anthropological study of Armenian-Americans living in Armenia.”

As an anthropologist, Ms. Pawlowska specializes in various issues, including nationalism, ethnic and national group identity within former Soviet countries. She conducted her anthropological field research from January-July 2013, during her RSC Resident Fellowship, focused on studying the community of American citizens of Armenian origin that moved to Armenia during the period of 1991-2012. Pawlowska holds graduate and undergraduate degrees in Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology and journalism from the University of Adam Mickiewicz in Poznań, Poland.

As an independent “think tank,” the Regional Studies Center (RSC) offers a regular series of similar events and briefings, aimed at providing an alternative source of objective analysis.

We are seeking your support

Would you like to make a difference in Armenia?
Consider supporting our work to deepen democracy, strengthen statecraft and defend the Armenian national interest.

As Armenia faces an unprecedented combination of threats and challenges, we each have a part to play in helping the Armenian nation. But after standing on the frontline committed to the defense and development of Armenia for over twelve years, our think tank, the Regional Studies Center (RSC), is now asking for your support.

As a think tank in Armenia, we focus on contributing to Armenia’s public policy process by providing analytical support in the areas of foreign policy, national security, defense reform and diplomatic strategy. We further seek to strengthen statehood and support statecraft by engaging with Armenian state institutions, including ministries and parliament.

Our work also consists of an advocacy campaign to articulate the Armenian perspective among the diplomatic community and international organizations. And we are proud to have garnered a prominent reputation as a leading Armenian source for interviews and comments for a wide range of American and European media outlets.

Yet one of our most important efforts involves our investment in youth and young professionals in Armenia. Our youth programs comprise a series of educational training courses devoted to professional development and capacity-building, and designed to educate, empower and enhance Armenia’s gifted and promising next generation.

But to sustain and expand our work in this time of crisis for Armenia, we are now asking for your financial support. Your generous contribution and support are greatly appreciated, and we welcome donations in any amount, in USD or EUR (banking details attached).

Thank you,

Richard Giragosian
Director, Regional Studies Center (RSC)
