Asia: Research Fellowship Programme for Young Muslim Scholars
Islam in Southeast Asia
Research Fellowship Programme for Young Muslim Scholars
The Asian Muslim Action Network (AMAN) is pleased to announce the fifth round
of the research fellowship program, Islam in Southeast Asia: View from within.
The fellowship grants will be awarded for innovative research on issues
concerning economic, socio-political and cultural changes taking place in the
diverse Muslim communities of Southeast Asia, especially as they relate to
modernization and globalization.
Themes
Popular Islam
"Popular Islam" focuses on encouraging researchers to examine ways in which
Islamic beliefs and practices reach all believers and are reflected through
various means of religious. communication such as studying Khutbah in local
mosques, reading Islamic booklets, and/ or listening to Muslim radio programs.
The question of how Islam can shape and influence, while at the same time is
being shaped by, the lives of ordinary Southeast Asian Muslims in various local
contexts is just one aspect of this topic that could be analyzed.
Globalization and Identity Politics
Muslim communities in Southeast Asia are not immune from globalization
processes. New forms of economic and political integration on a world scale and
the accelerated flows of goods, people and information across the globe all
create new opportunities and challenges for Muslims in the region. The
interaction of global and regional forces with local processes has been
perceived both as a threat to Muslim identities and as beneficial to the
development of a new transnational Islam. This research theme seeks to explore
how Muslim identities in Southeast Asia are formed and shaped by regional and
globalizing forces.
Islam and Changing Gender Realities
Rapidly evolving social, cultural and economic processes are leading to
unprecedented changes in the societal roles of men and women. Muslim
communities in Southeast Asia are being confronted with a diversity of values
and lifestyles expressing multiple definitions of gender roles and
relationships not always in line with dominant values. This research area
encourages researchers to examine how gender roles in both the
public and private sphere are changing for Muslims in Southeast Asia and relate
those changes to current theological and political debates.
Islam Values, Economic Activities and Social Responsibilities
Studies in this area should examine how Islamic values and institutions can
provide alternative economic options to those perceived as condradictory to
Qur'anic principles such as riba. Area of focus could include identifying how
Islamic economic values work in a modern business environment, analysis of
indigenous entrepreneurial models that have been or can be utilized for local
level empowerment and/ or studies of the lives of entrepreneurs and the ways
Islamic values shape and are re-shaped by their economic activities and social
responsibilities.

Bachelor's degree and should not be over 40 years of age.

report in a "work in progress" series.
