[B]TISS-MPI, Mumbai Student Fellowships 2012 [/B]:
The city of Mumbai, formerly Mumbai/Bombay/Bambai in the 21st century is the locus of multiple fractures, contestations and diverse claims being made everyday. As the commercial capital of India and as a vital metropolitan node in a globalizing world, Mumbai has played host to a series of pressures.

Tata Institute of Social Sciences invites proposals from its current post graduate students (MA, MPhil. and PhD.) who are researching any aspect of Mumbai city including but not restricted to Mumbai's multiple communities, changing landscapes, urban villages, cultures around places of worship, migrants, the local trains, street economy, eataries, street food, language, jargon, representations, cinemas, contested spaces, to name only some.

The TISS-MPI, Mumbai Student Fellowships are intended to provide an incentive for current post graduate students at TISS to focus their research gaze on Mumbai. The material generated from this research will contribute to a growing archive of work on the city of Mumbai.

[B]About the Fellowships [/B]:
Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) is internationally recognised for its excellence in education, research and field action. It has contributed significantly to policies and debates on socially relevant issues and problems. With its experienced and accomplished faculty, a dynamic student community, a well-equipped library, and IT resources, TISS provides meaningful support and mentorship for research.

Students may use the fellowships to support their ongoing dissertation or project research and a part of this work may be the basis of the fellowship and submitted for inclusion in the archive on the city. The grantees will have the opportunity to attend workshops organised by TISS-Max Planck. The fellowships will cover a period of time up to a maximum of ten months. The fellowship amount is Rs. 25,000 and will be released in installments against certain deliverables. Short-listed applicants will be invited to attend an interview.
