SUMMARY:The Asia Studies Fellowship at the East-West Center in Washington\, D.C.
DESCRIPTION:Deadline submission: 2 January 2017\nDate: March – September 2017\nVenue: Washington\, D.C.\, United State of America\nOrganizer: The East-West Center (EWC) \nThe East-West Center (EWC) accepts applications from scholars and analysts who wish to undertake research and writing on topics of relevance to contemporary US-Asia policy. We are particularly interested in proposals regarding key challenges in U.S.-Asia relations and possible responses and approaches to addressing those challenges. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: competing economic initiatives in Asia\, regional institutions as well as sustaining U.S. alliances and partnerships. \nThe fellowship finances residencies for a period of three months at the East-West Center in Washington in Washington\, D.C. Exceptional proposals that justify six months will be considered if funds and space allow. While in residence\, the fellows will complete an article or monograph to be considered for publication such as the Asia Pacific Issues series or the Policy Studies series. Selected participants must also publish at least one Asia Pacific Bulletin. The first full draft of the Asia Pacific Issues series or the Policy Studies series manuscript should be completed before the end of the residency period. Fellows must also give a public seminar on their topic. Alternative formats for the publication or public presentation may be considered on an individual basis\, but must be approved by the director of the EWC in Washington. \nThe fellowship includes a monthly stipend of US$2\,500 to $5\,000 (dependent upon experience) while in residence at EWC in Washington\, round trip economy airfare to Washington\, D.C.\, and reimbursement of any applicable visa fees. Residency may begin as early as March 2017 and extend through September 2017. All fellowships must conclude by September 30. Fellows are responsible for securing their own housing and medical insurance coverage during their term of residency. \nRequirements\nApplicants with or without a Ph.D. will be considered; those without a Ph.D. will be considered based on their relevant professional experience. Applicants must be nationals of a country from the Asia-Pacific or the United States (see below for a list of eligible countries) and eligible to receive a fellowship stipend. Successful applications will include a completed online application form\, a full CV\, two letters of reference\, and a policy-relevant research proposal of five pages (double spaced). The proposal should discuss the policy problem or issue to be examined and a tentative hypothesis and arguments. A brief bibliography of the relevant literature is also welcome but not required. Each proposal must make the case that the proposed project can be completed in three months and that a fellowship in Washington\, D.C. would further this research (For example: by interviewing government officials/policy experts\, access to archives at local institutions etc.) \nSource: http://www.eastwestcenter.org/ewc-in-washington/visiting-fellows/asia-studies-fellowship \n

SUMMARY:The Toyota Foundation International Grant Program 2017
DESCRIPTION:The grant program focuses on deepening mutual understanding and knowledge-sharing among people on the ground in East and Southeast Asia who are finding solutions to shared issues. Through promoting direct interaction among key players\, the grant program aims to survey and analyze situations in target countries\, obtain new perspectives\, and expand the potential of future generations. \nWith multinational teams comprised of participants from diverse backgrounds\, projects can avoid conventional linear relationships\, such as “supporter and supported” or “instructor and trainee\,” and instead form cooperative and creative alliances that consider\, act on\, and construct solutions to shared issues.

SUMMARY:How Thai Media Made “Gay Bangkok” by Emeritus Professor Peter A Jackson
DESCRIPTION:How Thai Media Made “Gay Bangkok”. Print Media and Activism in Thai Lesbian\, Gay and Kathoey History 1965 to 2010 by ” by Emeritus Professor Peter A Jackson. \nThailand is well known internationally for its highly visible\, diverse and increasingly vocal transgender\, lesbian and gay cultures and communities.  In international media\, both in the West and in much of Asia\, Thailand is often highlighted for its so-called cultural “tolerance” of gender and sexual diversity.  However\, in his public talk at SEA Junction on 28 March at 5-7PM Peter Jackson\, Emeritus Professor of Thai history and cultural studies in the Australian National University’s College of Asia and the Pacific\, will who how recent Thailand’s now very public queer communities are.  Rather than being “traditional”\, the country’s diverse queer communities only came into being in the later decades of the 20th century.  In this talk\, Peter Jackson traces the formative roles of Thai-language newspapers and magazines in the emergence of all of Thailand’s modern kathoey\, gay and lesbian communities.  Starting with newspaper exposes in the 1960s\, followed by articles in popular mass circulation magazines in the 1970s\, and then gay and lesbian commercial magazines and community newsletters from the 1980s\, modern print media were key forces in the creation of the diverse queer communities for which Thailand is now famous. \nThe speaker will draw on issues covered in two of his recent books\, “First Queer Voices from Thailand” (2016 Hong Kong University Press) and “Queer Bangkok: 21st Century Markets\, Media and Rights” (2011 Hong Kong University Press and Silkworm Books).  He will also refer to the digitised collection of more than 1\,000 Thai-language gay\, lesbian and kathoey magazines and newsletters from the 1980s and the 1990s that are now preserved in the Thai Rainbow Archive as part of the British Library’s Endangered Archives Programme (Search: “Thai Rainbow Archives EAP128” at http://eap.bl.uk/database/results.a4d?projID=EAP128).  \nA limited number of copies of Peter Jackson’s books “Queer Bangkok” and “First Queer Voices from Thailand” will be on sale at the talk for specially discounted prices. For more information on the event contact SEA Junction at southeastasiajunction@gmail.com \nPeter Jackson will also be giving an illustrated talk in Thai about his most recent book “First Queer Voices from Thailand” at 1.00 pm on Monday 27 March at the Princess Mahachakri Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre.  For information please contact Dr Narupon Duangwises\, Ph 02 880 9429 Ext. 3807. Email Narupon.d@sac.or.th \nPeter A. Jackson PhD is Emeritus Professor of Thai history and cultural studies in the Australian National University’s College of Asia and the Pacific.
