*2018 Summer Institute in Urban Studies*



The Summer Institute in Urban Studies will take place at the National
University of Singapore (NUS) and run from the evening of Sunday 15 July to
the afternoon of Thursday 19 July.



It provides an opportunity to investigate leading-edge theoretical and
methodological questions, along with a range of associated career
development issues, in the field of urban studies.



SIUS2018 comes after three very successful Summer Institutes in Urban
Studies at the University of Manchester in 2014, 2015 and 2016 (
https://www.mui.manchester.ac.uk/connect/events/summer-institute/). It
reflects going forward that the Institute will occur on a biennial basis
and take place as a partnership between the Manchester Urban Institute and
another university-based urban grouping.



SIUS2018 is sponsored by the National University of Singapore, the
University of Manchester and the Urban Studies Foundation.



*Format*



Open to doctoral students (usually post-fieldwork), postdoctoral
researchers, and recently appointed faculty/lecturers (normally within
three years of first continuing appointment), the Institute comprises an
intensive program of activities.



It is designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of
the innovatory developments and enduring controversies in urban studies, as
well as mentoring and support in the different aspects of the academic
labour process, from applying for grants to designing courses, from editing
books and special issues of journals to writing book proposals, and from
publishing in journals to working at the academic/non-academic interface.
  Confirmed speakers to date include:   Tim Bunnell (National University of
Singapore) Daniel P S Goh (National University of Singapore) Shenjing He
(Hong Kong University) Jane M Jacobs (Yale-NUS Liberal Arts College)

Lee Kah Wee (National University of Singapore)
Charlotte Lemanski (Cambridge University) Anant Maringanti (Hyderabad Urban
Lab, India) Michelle A Miller (National University of Singapore) Linda
Peake (York University, Toronto) C P Pow (National University of
Singapore) James
D Sidaway (National University of Singapore) Kevin Ward (University of
Manchester) Cecilia Wong (University of Manchester)                   Fees

The fee for the Institute is 250 GBP.  This amount includes bed and
breakfast accommodation for four nights (arriving 15 July, leaving 19
July), plus a welcome reception, a walking tour, lunches and an Institute
dinner.  To this you need to add the cost of your travel to and from
Singapore, and various incidentals such as transport and the costs of other
meals.
  Scholarships



Our funding allows us to offer a small number of scholarships.



Only students who are citizens from countries classified as ‘B’ or ‘C’ by
the ISA [see http://www.isa-sociology.org/table_c.htm] are eligible to
apply for a scholarship.



Scholarships will cover the cost of flights/travel to Singapore and the
Institute registration fee.  The scholarships will not cover daily
subsistence expenses (meals, local transportation costs etc.).
