ISSJS invites enquiries and applications now for ISSJS 2010
This is a great opportunity to study Jainism and the Jain community in an experiential based academic settings in India in the summer of 2010.
ISSJS was established in 2005 and so far nearly 122 scholars and students from 9 countries and more than 20 universities of the world have attended the last 4 ISSJSs. In addition to class room lectures by eminent scholars of Jainism, the other great features of this program are the meetings and interactions with the Jain professionals, practitioners, monks, nuns and visits to temples, historical and architectural places. The emphasis is on the study and learning of philosophy, art, history and culture of the Jains.
Another great beauty of this unique program is that nearly full cost (except $400-500) of the program such as tuition, course material, boarding and lodging in India for the entire stay are paid for by ISSJS to all participants. In addition, some full time faculty and Grad students attending the advance program/module also receive economy class return trip plus some cash stipends.
ISSJS 2010 offers 4 different modules as opposed to 3 in ISSJS 2009. A brief flyer is attached for your information. Full details of this program along with the application forms are available on ISSJS web site; www.jainstudies.org.
Kindly circulate this flyer among students, in your department, your friends and acquaintances who may be interested in this program
