OVERVIEW


Program encourages innovative, multi-disciplinary, theoretical engagement and research on issues that emerge at the intersection of the discourses on gender, security and conflict transformation.

These include areas such as human security, conflict resolution, multi-track peace initiatives, gender and peace building, terrorism, regional cooperation, human rights, diversity and coexistence, governance et al. The focus is on projects that explore the interface between gender and these issues, within the terrain of peace building and non-traditional formulations of security.

The Fellowships are seen as an important step to encourage more women to work in this crucial area, and are open to men who seek to bring important gender perspectives to their work on security, conflict and peace issues. The studies undertaken are expected to provide comprehensive information on hitherto ignored issues that pertain to conflict and security, and that offer holistic options for nonviolent transformation in regions of protracted conflict. The emphasis is on the potential of research and praxis to impact and catalyze change in such settings of tension and violence.

The Scholar of Peace Fellowships are awarded under three categories: Academic Research, Media Projects and Special Projects. The awards cover periods ranging from three months to one year.
