The ICI Residency Programme - India

 

New Delhi, November 24 - November 27, 2006

 

Mumbai, November 28 - December 3, 2006

 

(By invitation only)

 

The India China Institute, based in the New School, New York, fosters study, research and connections between India, China, and the United States, countries that share interests but have not yet fully engaged in three-way conversations.  Established in 2004, ICI is becoming a hub of an international network of institutions and activities that nurture these conversations and deepen our understanding of global processes.

 

The ICI Fellowship programme is designed for professionals from fields beyond academia, including policymakers, entrepreneurs, urban planners, architects, journalists and artists.  This innovative two-year fellowship brings together five fellows each from China and India who are working on the cutting edge of global issues and building broader conversations that can influence policymakers in the key areas of trade and development, urbanisation, and globalisation.

 

The 2006-08 ICI fellows from China:

 

·         Yukuan Guo  Investigative Reporter and News Commentator, CCTV's "News Probing", and Chief Journalist, Nanfengchuang magazine

 

·         Zongyong Wen Director,Detailed Plan Division, Beijing Municipal Urban Planning

 

·         Xiaobo Wu Director,School of Management at Zhejiang University

 

·         Zuojun Yang Director General, Hangzhou Urban Planning Bureau

 

·         Yang Yao Deputy Director,China Center for Economic Research, Beijing University

 

 

The 2006-08 ICI fellows from India:

 

·         Amita Bhide Associate Professor, Department of Urban and Rural Community Development, Tata Institute of Social Sciences

 

·         Hiren Doshi Business Development Manager, Infosys Technologies Limited, China

 

·         Chakrapani Ghanta Associate Professor, Sociology and Coordinator of the Human Rights Education Program, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University

 

·         Partha Mukhopadhyay Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Policy Research

 

·         Aromar Revi Founding Director, TARU 

 

 

The ICI residency programme will essentially focus on globalisation and urbanisation issues in a trilateral conversation (India-China-US) through the lenses of these ten fellows who are working on six transnational, cross-disciplinary, collaborative projects.  

 

The Fellows will have opportunities to interact with academics, policy makers, urban planners, and activists in a series of seminars, working lunches, and site visits focusing on development issues at the local and global levels.  The sessions will be held in New Delhi and Mumbai, and will be interspersed with visits to urban locations which have played a significant role in the urbanization debates of both cities historically as well as in contemporary times.

 

(The New Delhi programme is in collaboration with TARU and Centre for Policy Research.

 The Mumbai programme is in collaboration with University of Pune and Tata Institute of Social Sciences.)
