Dear All:
Please find below a call for 9th Annual Advanced Graduate Workshop on Poverty, Development and Globalization. Kindly contact the organizers directly for more information.Best Wishes,
SANDEE Secretariat
We are pleased to announce a call for student nominations for the 9th Annual Advanced Graduate Workshop (AGW) on Poverty, Development and Globalization. The Azim Premji University is organizing this year's workshop. This small interdisciplinary workshop, which will be directed by Professor Joseph Stiglitz, will be held in Bangalore, India during July 4-18, 2016
The goal of the workshop is to bring together graduate students in development studies at a sufficiently advanced stage of their dissertation work to be able to discuss and receive feedback on their research. There are two distinct parts: a series of lectures given by leading scholars and practitioners will deal with a range of economic, political and social issues pertaining to development and poverty Secondly, students will refine their research and presentation skills within assigned small groups under the guidance of faculty leaders in preparation for a culminating workshop-wide presentation of their research. We have invariably succeeded in making these small groups supportive and friendly environments in which students feel comfortable to discuss and provide feedback on each other's work.
We welcome applications from all fields in the social sciences; however, students should have some background in economics or familiarity with quantitative techniques. The AGW provides a unique opportunity for students to receive constructive advice and feedback on their work. Accepted candidates will join a distinguished rank of alumni and forge invaluable connections with top-flight lecturers and peers, all committed to the study of the myriad issues confronting developing economies.
We expect to accept approximately 20-25 students for the 2015 workshop. Some students have already been selected, but we are undertaking a second round of applications from students in India and have place for 10-15 more. Students will reside at Bangalore's WIPRO Learning Centre for the two-week duration. Room, board and airfare will be fully covered for all participants.
To apply, please send a complete application to arjunj...@gmail.com. Every applicant should send a CV, letter of interest, letter of recommendation and a sample of work. The deadline for application is the 15th of May 2016
