SHORT-TERM POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS, 2008
  
 
  Theme: Inequalities and Differences 
   
  Description: Inequalities and differences in the developing world have evolved historically. Caste, class, gender, ethnicity etc are reshaped to converge with circuits of global capital within and outside the nation-state. How do social and cultural mobilizations produce collective identities? Does the state’s intervention mitigate or reinforce disparities? What effects do solidarities and conflicts among the underprivileged have on society at large? 
   
  The fellowship is for post-doctoral scholars, especially college and university teachers who wish to take time off to pursue research that addresses these and similar questions from the perspective of various social science disciplines.
