Dear Friends,
We would be extremely happy if you could join us on 13 April 2012 at a seminar where the first batch of SANAM fellows from India will present their fellowship projects. The South Asian Network to Address Masculinities (SANAM) is a regional platform set up two years back by a group of activists, NGOs, researchers and media practitioners to generate and impart critical knowledge on masculinities. We wish to contribute towards an active challenge to the pernicious culture of violence in South Asia that effects women as well as men and children.
As a beginning SANAM has set up a fellowship programme . The fellowship was a phased process constituting three phases.
Phase 1: An eighteen day residential study programme held at Kathmandu in February 2011.
Phase 2: A seven day refresher course in June 2011.
Phase 3: Implementation of a six month mentored and funded intervention project in their
respective countries.
The SANAM fellowship provided an opportunity to 30 fellows selected from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan for a residential study programme on masculinities and subsequently were provided with a small fellowship support to conduct their project. The study programme drew a large contingent of tutors from across the region who taught the course through seven modules. Please find attached the list of projects that the Indian fellows undertook and a brief overview of the course.
As we prepare for the second round of fellowships, we look forward to your participation and feedback on the projects undertaken as well as on the future design of the fellowship.
Kindly confirm your participation by dropping a line to: sanam.s...@gmail.com
Look forward to seeing you at the seminar
