A-ASIA/IIAS
IIAS-ACSL Joint Fellowship Program
This fellowship is jointly offered by IIAS and the African Studies Centre Leiden. It is intended for researchers specialising in Asian-African interactions.
It aims to attract researchers whose work is informed by current theoretical debates in the social sciences and humanities over global connectivities and who are able to critically engage with shifting paradigms in “area studies” beyond the ways in which these have traditionally been conceived in the West.
