China India Scholar-Leaders
The China India Scholar-Leaders Initiative is made possible by a generous grant from Ford Foundation. It allows two cohorts of a two-year fellowship to support 16 promising, young scholar-leaders who use interdisciplinary research methods to grapple with complex questions related to prosperity and inequality in India and China, and who want to expand their knowledge and research capacities in this area. It seeks to foster the emerging field of India China Studies by supporting a new generation of Scholar-Leaders who are committed to producing critical new research, teaching, and course development. This collaborative initiative involves partnerships with select scholars and institutions, including Jawaharlal Nehru University and the Centre for Policy Research in India, the National Development School at Peking University in China, and the Global Studies program at The New School. Fellows will have the opportunity to engage in a transboundary and interdisciplinary collaboration and conduct field work in India and China to advance their research projects. This program was made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Foundation.

India China Leadership Fellows
The centerpiece of ICI is the India China Leaders Program, which aims to create an international community of experts and scholars committed to a critical, multidisciplinary approach to examining the reemergence of India and China onto the world stage. The program serves as a cornerstone of research, exchange, and collaboration among experts from The New School, India, and China. Since 2006, three cohorts of fellows have addressed challenging issues in three thematic areas: Urbanization and Globalization, Prosperity and Inequality, and Social Innovation for Sustainable Environments. The goal of these two-year residencies is to generate collaboratively produced policy papers and ongoing intellectual exchange.
ICI offered two-year fellowships to academics, entrepreneurs, policy experts, politicians, artists, and journalists through a generous gift from The Starr Foundation. Six years and three rounds of fellowships later, the program has grown to include 37 fellows, representing over 15 academic disciplines and fields of expertise.

Emerging Scholars
The Emerging Scholars program draws on The New School’s tradition of fostering and enhancing knowledge-sharing across disciplines and amongst scholars in different stages of their careers. This unique initiative is designed to provide a platform for both advanced level graduate students in professional fields as well as current PhD scholars and those who received their PhD within the last five years, to present and receive feedback on their ongoing research and to discuss recent advances and new trends in research on India and China.
The Emerging Scholars program was funded by a generous gift from The Starr Foundation.
