Engaging with Scholars, Experts and Leaders Publications 2005 2012 “The India China Institute (ICI) at The New School, a university in New York City, supports research, teaching and discussion on India, China and the United States, with special focus on making comparisons and understanding interactions between the three countries as well as their joint impact on the rest of the world. ICI is the hub of an international network of scholars, leaders, and opinion-makers. Through fellowships, courses, public events, publications, and collaboration with a wide range of institutions around the world, ICI promotes academic and public understanding of issues of contemporary relevance.” Benjamin Lee Arjun Appadurai ICI Fellows 2006-2008 Urbanization & Globalization Prosperity and Inequality ICI Fellows 2008-2010 ICI Fellows 2010-2013 Social Innovation for Sustainable Environments ICI's Multi-Faceted Work Engaging Faculty at The New School Fostering local and global interactions Building an Online Community & Resources Expanding Individual Networks and Institutional Partnerships Vibrant Public Engagement Sanjay Reddy Mark Frazier India China Knowledge & Capacity Building Initiative 2009-2013 Creating a new network of scholars Collaborative research 2008 Student Travel Research Grants Creating opportunities for the New School students Building networks with students in India and China Supported by the Ford Foundation Offering new courses on India-China Interactions and 8 weeks of intensive learning in India and China Everyday Religion and Sustainable Environments in the Himalaya Supported by the Luce Foundation Innovative research through a multi-year initiative 3 New School courses and field-based research Emerging Scholars Initiative Supported by Starr Foundation 37 Scholars, 3 Countries India China Fellowship Program 26 Students Fellows 2010 2006 2007 2011 2009 Supporting Increased Teaching on India & China India China Interactions - Taught by Lily Ling and Supported by Ford Foundation (Taught at Yunnan University & Calcutta University) Ecology in the Himalaya - Taught by Georgina Drew, Post-Doc Fellow, and Supported by Luce Foundation Religion and Sustainable Environments - Taught by Georgina Drew, Post-Doc Fellow, and Supported by Luce Foundation Environmental Sustainability in China and India - Taught by Dong Shikui & Jayanta Bandyopadhyay and Supported by Starr Foundation Great Transformations: Understanding the Rise of India and China - Taught by Sanjay Ruparelia, ICI Fellow 2006-2013 2010-2013 2006-2013 "For me, ICI is the most exciting institutional development since I came to The New School in 2002. Not only is ICI bringing new people, new knowledge, and new projects together, but it is really forging a path previously not taken by other institutes or universities: that is, the study of India-China-U.S. relations as an integrated whole rather than separate, insular domains of activity and research."

Ashok Gurung, Zha Jianying, Bob Kerrey, Tim Marshall, Arjun Appadurai, Benjamin Lee A New Vision Beyond Area Studies Supported by Starr Foundation 2010-2013 “It’s time to reshape the nature of big questions. At ICI, we are bringing together key people to rethink vital questions like: What are the truly important issues? How is the world changing? If we can get thinkers in India, China, and the United States not only to agree about the biggest questions, but to decide the shape and scope of them, then the answers will have a certain range of durability that answers in the past have not had. That’s a big ambition. But The New School has always been about big ambitions.” —Arjun Appadurai, Founding Director of India China Institute, 2005 September 4, 2012 Welcome Reception: New Academic Directors and ICI Fellows Supported by Starr Foundation "The fellowship program not only provides funding to support my trip, but also creates an institutional platform of discussion. I was able to exchange viewpoints and share thoughts with many scholars from India, China and US. The topics of ICI programs are very related to my interests and the up-to-date development in these two countries."
