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:International Seminar on Women Ulama “Amplifying Women Ulama’s Voices\, Asserting Values of Islam\, Nationhood and Humanity”
DESCRIPTION:The term “ulama” is often associated with male. In fact\, “ulama” can be applied to both female and male\, which are characterized by: a) holding strong knowledge on Islamic studies; b) understanding and implementing prophetic roles in expanding universal values of religion as rahmatan lil alamin (Blessing for the whole universe)\, c) care of social issues\, d) promote critical thinking in tradition\, e) being agent of changes with more constructive and evaluative way. \nIn Indonesia\, the role of female ulama has been institutionalized as formal organization\, that serve millions members such as Muhammadiyah and Nahdatul Ulama. The organization like Aisyiah and Nasyiatul Aisyiah\, have been engaging women from Muhamaddiyah basis in women empowerment. Like Muhammadiyah\, Nahdatul Ulama\, claimed as traditionalist\, is also active in promoting women empowerment and social changes under the leadership of two organizations called Fatayat and Muslimat. Other minority organization like Persistri\, as wing organization of Persis (United Islam)\, is trying to respond to the need of women in gaining more knowledge and participating in social life (tafaqquh fid-dien). \,Lajnah Ima’illah\, an Ahmadi women-led organization and Muslimah Ahlul Bait Indonesia (Muslimah Abi)\, a syiah based organization\, also show strong passion in carrying out prophetic roles towards promoting public awareness on education\, health\, economic empowerment etc. In the context of nation state\, Indonesia female ulama developed productive collaboration with male ulama and practitioners during the fights for independence of Indonesia\, and promote unity of the country\, as well as preserving nationhood principles. \nThe institutionalization of the role of female ulama in global level shows different patterns but contributes to social justice. Some networks like Women Living under Muslim Laws and Musawwah are well-known in producing and disseminating new approach to Islamic text\, which is more women-friendly. They bring together female ulama and practitioners to do collective action to promote Islam from gender perspective. Other networks such as Muslim Women Network\, Jewish Muslim Women Network\, African Muslim Environment Network\, are engaging directly with women confronting violence against women\, environmental degradation\, education\, health\, radicalism and terrorism etc in the form of collective action. The Asian Muslim Action Network (AMAN)\, a network among progressive Muslim in Asia\, also engages female ulama in responding to crisis during conflict and disaster.\nThere are four objectives we would like to achieve: \n\nDevelop common knowledge about “ulama” from the perspective of history\, socio political cultural context\, roles and concrete contribution of women ulama in the advancement of women and human civilization.\nFacilitate a forum for women ulama overseas to share their experiences and analysis in promoting Islamic teaching in the field of women empowerment and social justice covering strategy\, obstacle\, and challenge in mobilizing community for social change.\nBuild strong analysis on critical issues relating to violence against women\, child marriage\, migration\, and preventing violence extremism from perspective of acadimia\, ulama and practitioners of women empowerment.\nIdentify strategies to further develop the knowledge base and sharpen analysis on these issues\, to be used by advocates to influence policy and practice in the region\n\nContribute to the formulation of religious fatwa about contemporary issues on women and Islam on the basis of lived experience of women\, Islamic texts\, national and global instruments.\n \nSource: http://amanindonesia.org/international-forum-on-women-ulama-amplifying-women-ulamas-voices-asserting-values-of-islam-nationhood-and-humanity/ \n
