SSRC Postdoctoral Fellowship for Transregional Research: Inter-Asian Contexts and Connections
Deadline: February 13, 2012
Website: http://www.ssrc.org/fellowships/transregional-research-fellowship/
E-mail: transregional@ssrc.org
The SSRC is pleased to offer a new fellowship designed to strengthen the understanding of issues and geographies that don't fit neatly into existing divisions of academia or the world. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, these fellowships will help junior postdoc scholars (1 to 7 years out of the PhD) complete first books and/or undertake second projects. In addition to funding research, the program will create networks and shared resources that will support Fellows beyond the grant period. The intellectual thrust of the project is the re-conceptualization of Asia as an interlinked historical and geographic formation stretching from the Middle East through Eurasia, Central Asia, and South Asia to Southeast and East Asia. Submitted proposals should bear upon processes that connect places and peoples (such as migration, media and resource flows) as well as those that reconfigure local and trans-local contexts (such as shifting borders, urbanization and social movements).
