Call for Applications
Deadline: March 10, 2011
Scholars pursuing research in global studies are invited to apply for
participation as Fellows in the Framing the Global working group.
Framing the Global is a 5-year project at Indiana University,
Bloomington, that will develop new interdisciplinary knowledge,
approaches, and methods in the field of global research and apply them
to the study of global processes. The project is a joint initiative of
Indiana University Press and the Center for the Study of Global
Change. During the project period, each fellow will be expected to
participate in working group meetings; reconsider approaches to global
studies; prepare a theoretical working paper, to be published in print
and electronically by IUP; and to develop a book manuscript, also to
be published by IUP.
Fellows will receive a total of $15,000 for their sustained commitment
to the project. This includes $4,000/year for participation during the
first two years; $5,000 during the third year to conduct empirical
research that employs the analytical frameworks and methods developed
during the first two years; and $2,000 as they are completing their
manuscripts.
Fifteen fellows will be selected from social science, humanities, and
professional fields. Scholars with any disciplinary or regional
expertise will be considered. Successful applicants will fulfill the
following criteria:
* be engaged in an active, significant research project involving
globalization, global studies or transnational phenomena;
* have an interest in theoretical and methodological issues in the
study of global processes;
* have a history of publication dealing directly with the subject
of globalization, global studies or transnational phenomena;
* be prepared to begin a book manuscript within one year, drawing
on the interdisciplinary conversation of the working group;
* commit to participating in the project for five years.
