Thank you for supporting the Institute for Advanced Study in Asian Cultures and Theologies (IASACT) over the past decade.
This is a final reminder call for the application of
IASACT
2018
to be held from
June 14 to July
14, 2018.
Sponsored by the United Board,
IASACT 2018
will
be wholly organized by the Divinity School of Chung Chi College in The
Chinese University of Hong Kong (DSCCC) for the fourth year. DSCCC is
the only
theological education institution within a Chinese public university
and aims at enhancing collaboration with other seminaries in other parts
of the world. It is a scholar hub for theology, cultural and religious
studies in Hong Kong, Mainland China and overseas
academic communities.
IASACT is a four-week
residential program that provides space and time for scholars to deepen
their understanding of theologies and traditions. Participants
undertake research and writing in the broad area of Asian cultures and
theologies and complete a working paper while in
residence. Excursions will be arranged to indulge participants with the local cultures.
In providing this opportunity, IASACT aims to:
·
Strengthen theological education in
worldwide Christian universities and colleges;
· Encourage cross-disciplinary as well as inter-religious discussions; and
·
Enable
scholars from different countries or of different nationalities to work
together toward an intra-Asian theological understanding.
14-16 scholars
from Asian institutions will be selected. Non-Asian scholars are also welcome but required to pay USD1000 for registration fee. Accommodation will be provided while
meal allowances and a stipend of US$800 will also be offered to cover the basic costs
related to research and writing as well as meals in weekends. Airfare subsidy will be offered in a 50% scholarship basis.
Scholars
are encouraged to cover the costs of their air tickets and related
travel expenses. A limited number of transportation subsidies are
available upon request.
