Student Stipends for Research on the City
Sarai, (www.sarai.net) an interdisciplinary research and practice programme on the city and the media, at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi, invites applications for short term studentships to facilitate preparation of research projects on contemporary urban life in South Asia. Applicants are asked to submit a bio data and short statement of research interests in this field. Selected candidates will attend the City One Conference in 9-11th January, 2003, South Asia’s first conference on the urban experience. They will also participate in an orientation workshop, `Researching the contemporary city’. The studentship provides candidates Rs.10,000/- for the preparation of a preliminary research proposal to be presented at a workshop in June 2003. Travel expenses, board and lodge, as well as a modest per diem, will be provided to the candidates for attending the workshops and the Conference. The candidates may be from any social science or humanities discipline, and could be enrolled in an MA, M.Phil or Ph.D programme.
Sarai would like to encourage research in the following areas:
Colonial Urbanism in South Asia
Architecture and Spatial transformations
Modernist Planning
Alternative urban visions
Migration and demographic transformations
Urban Memory and Narratives of Violence
Urban Ecologies
Urban Social Movements
New forms of social differentiation
Literature and Urbanism
Cinema and the City
Visual culture
The future of Public Space
Media-Cities and Globalisation
Labouring in the City
Sarai would like to support a diverse range of projects, but would particularly like to encourage proposals which, while conversant with theoretical debates, have developed a strong sense of the research material, whether of archival/ethnographic/anthropological nature. We hope that, through this modest programme of support, we would encourage research in as yet underdeveloped fields.
Last date for applications: 1 November 2002
Please submit a bio data and short statement in a cover marked `Sarai studentships’ to

Dear Agastya,
Tax payer's money is not being wasted in all this research.
sarai is a media program of CSDS. sarai is getting fellowship proposals from abroad. Foreign grants are being availed for research purposes.
I think you should think of pursuing research on a student stipend.
Bye
