Organised by: TISS - University of Edinburgh Collaboration (UKIERI)

TISS and University of Edinburgh will be organising a two day workshop on Ethnography and Social Identities for PhD scholars.

This interactive workshop is for scholars who have completed ethnographic fieldwork or are in the midst of it. The workshop aims at critically engaging PhD scholars to the opportunities and challenges of participant observation in the study of social exclusion. The focus is on those PhD scholars who are studying deprived groups like Dalits, Muslims and Adivasis, however others with interests in caste, religion and ethnicity too are encouraged to apply. Participation in the workshop will particularly help scholars develop their methodology chapters.

The workshop will be held on August 30 - 31, 2012, and will involve esteemed academics sharing their experiences and commenting on the submissions of PhD scholars. The total number of seats will be limited to twelve and seats for candidates from out of Mumbai are limited to four. Outstation candidates will be provided travel (III AC), boarding and lodging.

Interested PhD scholars should email Dr. Suryakant Waghmore (suryakant@tiss.edu) with a CV and five page (2500 words or less) research proposal clearly explaining rationale, research questions and methodology of your project. If you are completing fieldwork you could submit a short chapter (less than 3500 words) on methodology. The last date for receiving application is May 5.

Short-listed candidates will be informed by May 30.
