AIIS is pleased to announce that it is inviting applications for five two-month student fellowships for the summer of 2022 to carry out original projects using the resources of the two AIIS research centers in India (Archives and Research Center for Ethnomusicology (ARCE) and Center for Art and Archaeology (CA&A)) and resulting in the creation of a digital exhibition, digital curriculum, or other creative products intended for varied audiences. The goal of this opportunity is to: foster the digital production and dissemination of knowledge about India; promote the creation and use of digital resources and media for the study of India; and promote digital collaboration.
Student fellows will work under the guidance of a project supervisor and assigned faculty mentor on their projects and will exercise their creativity to shape and implement their projects while also acquiring a digital skill set and hands-on practical experience that will enhance their professional development. AIIS will also foster a community among the five fellows working on their own projects with ample opportunities for collaboration. Applicants should select a project from the menu of choices
Eligible applicants include graduate and undergraduate students (juniors, seniors, and rising juniors) at institutions of higher education in the United States. Applicants from community colleges, Minority Serving Institutions, and institutions which do not have established South Asian studies programs are especially encouraged to apply.
