SUMMARY:Shift Maps Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:On 4 November 2017 at 5PM\, the month-long exhibition “Shift Maps” will be launched at SEA Junction exposing the personal live histories of refugees and migrants living in Bangkok as written and illustrated by them on palm leaf manuscripts made from the Talipot Palm\, also known as the ‘Shadow Palm’ (Corypha umbraculifera; Thai: Bai Larn). \nThe bulk of manuscripts were produced in two workshop sessions conducted by Bangkok-based artist Varsha Nair at SEA Junction on 26 and 28 October by a group of refugees and migrants composed of clusters of family members as well as young refugees on their own from a variety of countries including Vietnam\, Myanmar\, Sri Lanka\, Pakistan\, and Sudan. They worked with leaves to tell their personal stories\, reflecting about “who we are\, where we come from\, our connection with the past\, and present way of being”. Recording oral histories\, they drew and wrote their stories\, from memory and based on their current reality – life stories connected with location\, relocation\, dislocation – the physical\, emotional and psychological shifts – at times subtle and at times tectonic. \nAdditional palm works were created at a workshop for 365 Days: LIFE MUSE (Model study for Nongpo community’s foreign laborers)\, a project by Baan Noorg Collaborative Arts and Culture\, curated by jiandyin (Jiradej and Pornpilai Meemalai). \nThe Palm can be considered as being one of the first migrants in the world – dispersing itself by floating on the seas\, arriving in far-flung places and rooting down way before humans appeared on the scene. Palms continue to be an important part of our daily life. We also revered them using their leaves to record what was once oral history and sacred discourses\, as evident in traditional palm leaf manuscripts. This tradition is a common one that connects India\, Myanmar\, Thailand\, Cambodia\, Laos\, and Indonesia. \nIndividuals from different parts of the world who now find themselves in-between places created the palm leaf documents presented here. They can be seen as current records of flux and of memory – of horizons lost\, found\, and desired. \nAt the opening\, and intermittently during the course of the exhibition\, short videos created by some of the same refugees and some others will be shown. They were made as part of a research project conducted by Rebecca Warren\, in which several young refugees wrote and created digital poetry based on a poem by George Ella Lyon\, called ‘Where I’m From’. The poems explored the young person’s sense of identity\, memory\, and attempted to capture their journey through life with images and descriptions of things that they’ve felt\, sensed\, touched\, heard\, smelt\, seen\, the experiences that make us who we are. Irrespective of varying degrees of elaboration\, each is unique and poignant in its own way. \nThe opening will also feature a panel discussion including Varsha Nair\, Rebecca Warren as well as representatives of refugee organizations. \nThis event is the sixth of a series of events on movements of people in Southeast Asia entitled ASEAN People in Flux\, which is organized by SEA Junction in collaboration with the Heinrich Boll Stiftung Southeast Asia. The series consisting of seven interrelated events aims to examine the complexity of intraregional mobility spurred by regionalization efforts and to discuss the policies governing it. In particular\, by putting a spot on different kinds of people’s movements\, the series highlights the double standards in the ASEAN’s approach to mobility. \nOn one side\, ASEAN promotes “people to people connectivity” by facilitating movements for business\, study and tourism\, while on the other side it limits migration of much needed “un-skilled” workers to exploitative contract labor schemes and it refuses to recognize refugees\, asylum seekers and displaced persons. These double standards were clearly illustrated by the first event of the series on “refugee crisis in ASEAN” as contrasted to the booming industry of medical tourism discussed in the second event. The third event presented an additional dimension of policy discrimination from a gender perspective by focusing on women migrant workers in ASEAN\, while the forth focused on the often-neglected topic of pre-departure policies to protect migrants. The fifth event returns to explore privileged flows\, this time the facilitated intraregional movements of students\, as contrasted to the young refugees who tells their stories of dislocation and exclusion from education opportunities in this sixth event. \nContributors \nVarsha Nair was born in Kampala\, Uganda\, and studied at Faculty of Fine Arts\, Maharaja Sayaji Rao University\, Baroda\, India. Inviting multidisciplinary collaborations her work encompasses various approaches and genres including making\, writing\, and organizing projects. Nair has lived in Bangkok since 1995. See www.varshanair.studio  \nRebecca Warren works for The British Council in Bangkok\, Thailand. She also volunteers as a teacher with refugees and is conducting doctoral research into the educational experiences of young refugees in Bangkok. \nThe participating refugees for now prefer to remain anonymous\, but names/pseudonyms may be provided at a later date if conditions allow it. \n \nFor information/reservation for our events please email southeastasiajunction@gmail.com or phone/wa: +66970024140 \n

SUMMARY:Asian Graduate Student Fellowships 2018 (6 weeks In-residence)
DESCRIPTION:Duration: the Fellowship starts in June 2018 (6 weeks)\n  \nThe Asia Research Institute (ARI) of the National University of Singapore (NUS) invites applications from citizens of Asian countries currently enrolled in a fulltime Master’s or PhD degree at a university in an Asian country (except Singapore) for consideration for the award of Asian Graduate Student Fellowships. Offered to graduate students working in the Humanities and Social Sciences on Southeast Asian topics\, the fellowship will allow the recipients to be based at NUS for an ‘in residence fellowship’ for a period of six (6) weeks. The aim of the fellowship is to enable scholars to make full use of the wide range of resources held in the libraries of NUS and the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. \n  \nIntensive English Academic Writing Course\nA limited number of students may be selected to take part in a two-week long intensive course on English academic writing. This program is specifically intended for students who struggle with writing and/or communicating in academic English. You are asked to indicate in your application if you see a need for participating in this course. If you have already received training in this field or if you are a (near) native speaker you might not benefit from this course. Please note that those students who enroll in the English academic writing program will thus have two weeks less time to conduct research locally. It is therefore important that you consider carefully what is more important to you at this stage of your career. \n  \nRequirements & Expectations\nThe fellowship will commence on 18 June 2018\, and scholars are expected to finish a paper of 8\,000 words and make a presentation on their work at the “Singapore Graduate Forum on Southeast Asian Studies” to be organized from 23 to 27 July 2018. You are advised to have a draft of your paper ready before commencing the program. This will allow you more time to conduct research and interact with researchers locally. \nSuccessful candidates can expect the following benefits: \n\nA one-time allowance of SGD500.00\nA one-time round trip travel subsidy by the most economical and direct route (via budget airline if available) on a reimbursement basis upon being accepted for the fellowship.\nOn-campus accommodation will be provided.\nAccess to library and computer resources on campus. You can look forward to excellent library and internet computer facilities at NUS’ main library (https://libportal.nus.edu.sg/frontend/index)\, the library at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) (https://www.iseas.edu.sg/library) and the Lee Kong Chian Reference Library at the National Library (https://www.nlb.gov.sg) to facilitate your research for the dissertation. NUS’ main library has 2 million volumes covering all topics while ISEAS’ library has 200\,000 on Southeast Asian topics\, half of which are in Southeast Asian languages.\nExposure to seminars by various experts in the field.\nA mentor/advisor will be appointed based on candidate’s research topic.\nThe Training Employment Pass and Visa will be arranged for by ARI\n\nCriteria\n\nEligible candidates must have completed their fieldwork by the time the Fellowship starts in June 2018.\nBasic proficiency of the English Language.\n\n  \nsource: https://ari.nus.edu.sg/Page/AGSF2018 \n
