IIAS Fellowships
We are particularly interested in researchers focusing on one of the Institute's three thematic clusters: 'Asian Cities', 'Asian Heritages', and 'Global Asia'. However, some positions will be reserved for outstanding projects in any area outside of those listed.
Next deadline
1 October 2012
Asian Cities
The Asian Cities cluster deals with cities and urban cultures with related issues of flows of ideas and goods, cosmopolitism, métissage and connectivity, framing the existence of vibrant "civil societies" and political urban microcultures. It also deals with such issues as urban development in the light of the diversity of urban societies.
Asian Heritages
The Heritage and Social Agency in Asia cluster explores the notion of heritage as it evolved from a Europe originated concept associated with architecture to incorporate a broader diversity of cultures and values.
Global Asia
The Global Asia cluster addresses Asia's role in the various globalization processes. It examines examples of and issues related to multiple, transnational intra-Asian interactions as well as Asia's projection in the world. Historical experiences as well as more contemporary trends will be addressed.
Research projects that can contribute to new, historically contextualized, multidisciplinary knowledge,
with the capacity of translating this into social and policy relevant initiatives, will be privileged.
