Asia Writes

Deadline: 1 July 2012

The AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF INDIAN STUDIES is a cooperative, non-profit organization of sixty-eight American colleges and universities that supports the advancement of knowledge and understanding of India, its people, and culture. AIIS welcomes applicants from a wide variety of disciplines. It especially encourages applicants in fields such as Development Studies, Natural Resources Management, Public Health, and Regional Planning.

APPLICATIONS TO CONDUCT RESEARCH IN INDIA MAY BE MADE IN THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES:

Senior Performing and Creative Arts Fellowships . Available to accomplished practitioners of the performing arts of India and creative artists who demonstrate that study in India would enhance their skills, develop their capabilities to teach or perform in the U.S., enhance American involvement with India’s artistic traditions, and strengthen their links with peers in India. Awards will normally be for periods of up to four months, although proposals for periods of up to nine months can be considered.

Junior Research Fellowships . Available to doctoral candidates at U.S. universities in all fields of study. Junior Research Fellowships are specifically designed to enable doctoral candidates to pursue their dissertation research in India. Junior Research Fellows establish formal affiliation with Indian universities and Indian research supervisors. Awards are available for up to eleven months.

Senior Research Fellowships . Available to scholars who hold the Ph.D. or its equivalent. Senior Fellowships are designed to enable scholars in all disciplines who specialize in South Asia to pursue further research in India. Senior Fellows establish formal affiliation with an Indian institution. Short-term awards are available for up to four months. Long-term awards are available for six to nine months. A limited number of humanists will be granted fellowships paid in dollars funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Senior Scholarly/Professional Development Fellowships . Available to established scholars who have not previously specialized in Indian studies and to established professionals who have not previously worked or studied in India. Senior Scholarly/Professional Development Fellows are formally affiliated with an Indian institution. Awards may be granted for periods of six to nine months.

Non U.S. citizens are welcome to apply for AIIS fellowships as long as they are either graduate students or full-time faculty at a college or university in the U.S. Citizens of the United States, however, can apply for senior fellowships if they are not affiliated with an institution of higher education in the U.S. The fellowship competition is open to all applicants and is NOT restricted to applicants from AIIS member institutions. Fellowships for U.S. citizens are funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (also available to permanent residents); the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States State Department and the Council of American Overseas Research Centers under the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961, as amended; and the Smithsonian Institution. Some fellowships for non-U.S. citizens and artists can be funded from the AIIS Rupee Endowment in India. Fellowships for six months or more may include limited coverage for dependents.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES

Please read all application materials carefully. All forms in the application packet must be completed and submitted electronically.

GUIDELINES

• Applications that do not meet the requirements listed below will NOT be considered and the processing fee will not be returned.
• Applicants will be notified of the selection committee’s decisions by the beginning of October. The earliest possible departure date for India by awardees is eleven (11) months following the date of application submission.
• Two full years must have elapsed between the completion of a previous AIIS fellowship and the current application deadline. This rule does NOT apply to recipients of AIIS language program fellowships.
• AIIS Fellows may not hold another major grant during the fellowship period.
• Applications from scholars who are part of a collaborative project involving other scholars are welcome, though AIIS fellowships are granted to individuals not to teams. Amounts awarded to successful applicants who are members of group projects will be equivalent to fellowships awarded to scholars who submitted applications for individual projects.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Selection Committee will assess each application on the following basis:

• The project description
• The candidate’s academic and/or professional record
• The quality of references.

Members of the Selection Committee represent a number of different academic disciplines within the field of Indian Studies, so the applicant must explain the nature and significance of the project in terms intelligible to a non-specialist audience. Please avoid jargon and be as concise as possible.

Applicants who are not affiliated with an AIIS member institution are WELCOME to apply.

REVIEWER WORKSHEET

The Reviewer Worksheet provides basic identifying information about the proposed project. It is used in the review process to summarize the three primary areas of competitive review:

• Project Description
• Academic and/or Professional Record
• Quality of References

The Reviewer Worksheet also enables the AIIS to summarize general information about the applicant pool and the range of subject matter submitted to it for consideration. Summary statements with this kind of information enable the Institute to solicit funds for its fellowship program.

AFFILIATION WITH AN INSTITUTION IN INDIA

The Indian Government requires all foreign scholars be associated with an Indian institution.

• The Institute will arrange institutional affiliation for fellows.
• Non-Indian citizens will need a research visa to do research in India. A certificate of affiliation from an Indian institution is required to obtain the research visa.
• No fellowship funds will be released until AIIS has obtained a certificate of affiliation.

Please provide the names of three institutions with which you wish to be affiliated on the affiliate sponsor form. Please CAREFULLY read the information regarding affiliation on the affiliate sponsor form. The Institute will pursue affiliation on your behalf to expedite the project approval process.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Be sure to answer each question on the form. If all questions are not answered, the application may be rejected.
• The application must be typed and all questions answered on the form itself. It is not acceptable to refer to appended material.
• The application deadline for the AIIS Fellowship Competition is July 1.
• Applications must be attached in an email to AIIS (aiis@uchicago.edu).
• It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all application materials, including letters of recommendation are received prior to the deadline. Late materials will not be considered.
• Please save your completed application for your files as you may need it for reference over the next two years.
• For the question regarding current status or title, if you are a faculty member, please indicate whether you are tenured or untenured.
• The Project Summary must be typed on both the Application for Fellowship and the Reviewer Worksheet.
• Please consult the application checklist and create ONE pdf file to include all of the components of your application.

When naming your discipline, please choose one only from the following categories:

• Anthropology
• Archaeology
• Architecture
• Art
• Behavioral Sciences
• Communications
• Cultural Studies
• Economics
• Education
• Environmental Studies
• Ethnomusicology
• Film/Photography
• Gender/Sexuality Studies

• Linguistics
• Literature
• Medicine
• Natural Sciences
• Performance Studies
• Performing Arts
• Philosophy
• Political Science
• Public Health
• Religious Studies
• Sociology
• Technology Studies
• Urban Planning

Please also include five short key phrases that would describe your project. For example for a project on agrarian social movements in the early twentieth century north India you could say: early twentieth-century history; agrarian movements in north India; agricultural workers’ rights movements; twentieth century social movements.

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS

Please refer to the Application Checklist when assembling your application and submit the checklist with your application materials to AIIS.

PROJECT STATEMENT

All applications must include a project statement fully describing proposed research. Be sure to clearly include:

• Reasons for pursuing this research
• The significance of your project and its relevance to other scholarship
• Research methodology
• Anticipated results of your study
• Time-table for completing the project

If the completion of this project requires research outside India, or if you plan a departure from India during the time of award, please note in the timetable for completion.

The project statement must conform to the following requirements:

• It must be no longer than six (6) pages, double-spaced, with one-inch margins, and printed in a type size no smaller than 12 points.
• The project statement must be clearly legible. Applications that do not conform to these specifications will not be read by the Committee or returned by the Institute.
• Attach a one to three-page bibliography related to your project. Please remember that your proposal will be read and evaluated by a committee representing India specialists with diverse disciplinary expertise.
• A curriculum vitae of no more than two (2) pages must also be submitted. It should include major publications with the names of publishers and dates of publication. Citations for articles and monographs must be complete. Please identify clearly all publications resulting from prior AIIS-supported research with an asterisk.
• Applicants for the Junior Research Fellowship must include official transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate institutions attended in the U.S. with their application.
• Applicants for the Senior Performing and Creative Arts Fellowship must provide a web-based link to some significant sample of their work, e.g. high quality videotape for filmmakers, dancers and perhaps musicians; high quality audio tape (if not video) for musicians; and photographs or slides for visual artists. Video and audio recordings should be continuous, not excerpted, and at least 15 minutes, but preferably a half hour in length. Materials will be returned at the candidate’s request.

CONFIDENTIAL REFERENCES

Each applicant must secure three letters of recommendation. Referees should have sufficient knowledge about the applicant and the proposed project to assess the project as well as the applicant’s qualifications to carry it out.

In the past, delinquent references have been the most serious problem in giving full consideration to an applicant’s proposal. The applicant is responsible for assuring timely submission of recommendations. Referees must submit their letters by email attachment to aiis@uchicago.edu. It is strongly recommend that you request letters of recommendation as soon as you start working on the application.

PROJECT INFORMATION SHEET

In order to obtain the certificate of affiliation, applicants must submit a two-page (maximum) project information sheet. This document should also be used for non-Indian citizens when it is time to obtain a research visa for India.

The project information sheet should provide the following information:

• where the applicant wishes to go
• what the applicant wishes to do
• materials to be reviewed
• types of information to be collected.

The project information sheet should not be written in jargon. Applicants should avoid discussing theoretical frameworks, methodological issues, literature reviews, etc. Please remember that the document is to be reviewed by non-academics for the purposes of issuing a certificate of affiliation and, eventually, the research visa. The AIIS selection committee will not review the two-page information sheets. AIIS staff will review the project sheets and will advise applicants to make changes where needed.

Since 1998, The Asian American Writers' Workshop has presented the highest literary honor for writers of Asian American descent. We believe we are the only national organization that actively solicits entries to ensure that a comprehensive list of the year's Asian American books are entered into competition. Past winners of the award include Pulitzer Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri, National Book Award winner Ha Jin, Pulitzer Prize Finalist Susan Choi, Booker Prize Finalist Amitav Ghosh, American Book Award winner Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge, and Guggenheim Fellow Arthur Sze, among many others. As these writers show, Asian American literature is not just a niche genre, but a central chapter in our nation's literature.

The Annual Asian American Literary Awards honor Asian American writers for excellence in three categories: (1) fiction,(2) poetry, and (3) nonfiction. Literary awards recipients are determined by a national panel of judges who are selected on the basis of expertise in a literary genre and/or experience in academic environments relevant to Asian American literature; residence in the U.S. and ethnic background as to create a diverse committee.

To qualify for our next award, a work must have been written by an individual of Asian descent living in the United States and published originally in English during the calendar year preceding the award year (for example, works published in 2011 are eligible for the 2012 Literary Awards). No self-published works will be considered. Award submissions are accepted in spring, with award recipients announced in Fall, and publicly presented during our Winter awards ceremony and literary festival.

Lifetime Achievement Award. The Workshop has also recognized notable writers and cultural figures for their contribution to Asian American literature through a lifetime achievement award. Past winners of this award include Jessica Hagedorn, Maxine Hong Kingston, David Henry Hwang, and Sonny Mehta.

Members' Choice Award. The Asian American Literary Awards Ceremony also features the Members' Choice Award. Initiated in 2000, the Members' Choice Award allows Workshop members to choose their favorite title of the previous publishing year. In order to participate in voting for this award, you must be a current member of The Asian American Writers' Workshop. Titles may only be eligible for consideration of Members' Choice Award if they have been entered in the Annual Asian American Literary Awards in one of the three categories above. Applications for the upcoming Fifteenth Annual Asian American Literary Awards are due Thursday June 28, 2012. Please view the guidelines and fill out the application on the following pages to apply.

b.) The Judges will be divided into three (3) committees. These committees are responsible for compiling a shortlist of entries submitted for the Award. The works with the highest overall scores for literary excellence will be awarded Annual Asian American Literary Awards.

Deadline: 15 July 2012

For its fifth issue, Lantern Review seeks poems, visual art, multimedia, and mixed genre poetic works that engage with the critical notion of "hybridity," whether in language, form, aesthetic or subject matter. How can the act of poetic "collage" mimic, transform, and otherwise help us to negotiate the boundaries of ethnic and cultural distinctions? In what ways can experimenting with the mixing (and re-mixing) of narratives, forms, source material, and genres be used to enact the condition of hybridity (geographically, generationally, biologically, and otherwise)?

The reading period for Issue 5 will close on July 15, 2012.

Submissions (with the exception of Community Voices and Visual Art/Photography queries) will only be accepted via our online form. Please read our guidelines thoroughly before proceeding.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

• You may submit only once per reading period.
• All poetry, translations, and prose should be submitted via our online system ONLY. If you experience technical trouble with the system during the submission process, please send us an email at editors [at] lanternreview (dot) com.
• Your submission must meet both our general guidelines and the specific guidelines for the category in which you are submitting (see below, under “Categories of Work Accepted”)
• Please include a cover letter as the first page of your submission. Our electronic form will also ask you to input a short biographical statement. We ask that you limit these statements to 1-2 sentences per artist [translators need not submit additional bio(s) for the artist(s) whose work they are translating].
• Acceptable file formats: As our system can accept only one file at a time from each submitter, poetry and prose manuscripts should be uploaded as a single MS Word (.doc or .docx) document or Adobe .pdf file, the first page of which should consist of a cover letter. In order to avoid a potential upload error, we suggest that you remove all spaces and punctuation from the file name of your document—e.g., "MChangPoems.docx" rather than "M Chang - Poems.docx". (See specific guidelines under “Categories of Work Accepted” for Community Voices and Visual Art submissions).
• In submitting your work to us, you guarantee that the pieces included in your MS have not been published before—either in electronic or print form—and that they constitute your original creative work. Rights revert to the author upon publication of the work. We are open to simultaneous submissions, but you must inform us immediately should your work be accepted elsewhere.
• Please allow approximately 4 weeks after the end of the reading period for our response.
• Simultaneous submissions are acceptable, but you must alert us to which poems have been submitted simultaneously, and must inform us immediately should they be accepted elsewhere.
• Please note that as LR is a completely volunteer-run operation, we are unable to offer our contributors monetary compensation at this time.

CATEGORIES OF WORK ACCEPTED

Original poems

Collaborative or individual; traditional, experimental, hybrid forms—all are welcome! Please submit no more than 4 poems at a time. For collaborative pieces, please indicate the name of only one artist under “Contact Information,” but include all collaborators’ names in the “Artist Names” box (under “Manuscript Information”).

Translations

New translations of poems into English. Please submit no more than 4 translations at a time. Indicate the name of the original poet as well as your own in the “Artist Name(s)” box. Unless the poem you have translated is in the public domain, please also make sure that you have secured all necessary permissions from the owners of the original piece's copyright before submitting your translation to us.

Book Reviews & Essays

We feature one prose piece (written by a poet or scholar of poetry) at the end of each issue. Types of work that we are interested in include: reviews of recent poetry collections, critical essays relating to poetic craft or issues in poetics, and creative reflections by poets on such subjects as process, community, and politics in poetry. Please note that we are looking for prose whose subject matter deals with poetry and its practice in some way (for example, we are not interested in publishing reviews of short story collections). Please submit no more than one prose piece at a time. Prose pieces should be no longer than 3000 words in length.

Community Voices

Each issue will feature a number of poems that have produced in the context of a writing or arts community, as well as a short profile of the group(s) that produced the work. If you are a member of a group whom we might be interested in featuring, please query us at editors [at] lanternreview (dot) com.

OUR AESTHETIC

We incline towards contemporary free verse that features a compelling sense of voice, strong internal music and striking imagery, but are open to work that spans the spectrum from the more conservative lyric influenced by traditional forms, to experimental and hybrid forms that push the boundaries of poetry's definitions. To get an idea of what poets the editors like to read and what sort of themes and issues we find compelling, please take some time to browse through our current issue before submitting.

WHO MAY SUBMIT

We seek quality submissions from individual artists and communities of artists, regardless of ethnic background. Your submission does not necessarily have to directly address a "big question" about Asian (U.S.) American identity; nor does it have to take place in America or in Asia. However, please keep in mind that we are seeking to publish work that engages to some degree with issues relevant to the Asian American and/or Asian diasporic experience, and that when reading any piece, we will be looking for not only superior craft, but also for an approach to the work's subject matter that is both thoughtful and culturally/politically sensitive. (Please note: LR staff members are ineligible to submit work during their time with us).

Our Own Voice's mission is to provide a home space for the creative expressions of Filipinos in the diaspora. OOV believes there is a growing breed of Filipino who is a foreigner in his old home, an alien in his new land: straddling two cultures without belonging to either one or who may be trying to belong to either one.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

• works that reflect Filipino insights and experiences in the diaspora;
• a foreigner's experience of the Filipino culture;
• reviews of works authored by Filipinos or articles & commentaries pertaining to the Filipino abroad;
• unpublished stories, poetry and essays by Filipinos written in English or Tagalog;
• "Wanting to go to America" genre; essays pertaining to the writing life;
• dramatic pieces describing the struggle of Filipinos overseas.
• We are also interested in works by those who have grown up influenced strongly by other cultures, but who intentionally own their Filipino heritage.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Short story up to 5,000 words
• 5 poems for a single submission, not more than 50 lines per poem
• Essays, book reviews and critiques up to 5,000 words
• Excerpts from dramatic pieces or plays limited to 3,000-5,000 words

For works that significantly exceed these word count parameters, please query the editor. We will not outright reject a piece because it is too long.

WHERE TO SEND YOUR SUBMISSIONS:

Send to our.own.voice@gmail.com. Authors will be notified of the status of their submission by e-mail.

DEADLINES AND FREQUENCY OF ISSUES:

Issues will appear quarterly. However if the work is submitted past an issue's deadline, it will be rolled forward for consideration for a future issue.
