[Reader-list] [Announcements] Workshop for Young Research Scholars (Humanities and Social Sciences)

[Dunkin Jalki]

Workshop for Young Research Scholars

The Young Researchers' Workshop is a yearly event initiated by the research
students of CSCS, Bangalore since 2003.  It aims to engage with critical
research in the emerging contexts of contemporary Social Sciences and
Humanities in India focusing on the interdisciplinary projects and the
'new' methodological tools.

The 2005 Young Researchers' Workshop will address the broad field of
Culture and Society; emphasizing the need to alter the place that culture
holds in our understanding of politics. In enquiring how 'culture' gains
its accepted definitions and normative descriptions, requires us to
investigate how it is operated within the socio-political context. Research
concerns that deal with democracy, gender, caste, ethnicity, region,
urban/rural spaces, visuality, media, and education are of particular
interest.  The workshop will broadly focus on the question of methodology
pertaining to the studies in 'Indian' culture and society.

The objective is to continue to support a critical rethinking and
re-valuation to help us place our research in a clearer perspective. The
workshop will provide an opportunity for young researchers from different
parts of the country to discuss their areas of study and to enrich the
methodological and theoretical rigor of their work. The workshop will
invite resource persons to discuss and comment on the presentations of
participants and post-doctorates and/or scholars who have just finished
their doctoral work to share their experiences.
