SSRC Call for Applications: Collaborative Research Development Workshops on Asia
The Collaborative Research Development Workshops on Asia provide a forum for intellectual dialogue and serve as an incubator for projects highlighting the social, political, economic, and cultural dynamics and intersections that shape the two workshop themes of climate change and migration. Given the regional and global dimensions of these critical issues, the workshops seek to provide a space to exchange ideas and to imagine research projects—focused on either connections across or comparisons between countries and communities—and how research on them can be conducted by teams that bridge scholars within Asia and between Asia and the United States. The workshops further seek to create sustained networks of international scholars conducting research on a common theme by providing the opportunity to give and receive constructive feedback on current work and on ideas for new collaborative projects. After completion of the workshop, participants will be eligible to apply with a team for a collaborative research seed grant. This initiative is made possible with support from the Henry Luce Foundation.
Eligibility:
Early-career scholars in the humanities, social sciences, or related fields
Applicants must be within five years of having completed the PhD
Based in the US or Asia, regardless of citizenship
While members of a pre-existing collaborative team may apply to the workshop, each member’s application will be assessed on its own merits. We especially welcome applications from past participants of the AAS-SSRC Dissertation Workshop series or the SSRC Global Scholars Initiative.
