Conducting Research: A Virtual Workshop for Young Tibetan Scholars
Tibet Policy Institute TPI, CTA, DharamshalaPertaining to the ‘existing social conditions’ driven by the Covid – 19 pandemic, the medium of discussion will be virtual. The Research Mentors and the participants will be involved in a collaborative exercise that will allow the latter to potentially envision their research problematic through a fresh perspective, both conceptually and empirically, critically analyse the relevance of their projects and understand the writing process of a research paper from its first draft to finally being a published thesis. The primary structure of the Workshop will be based on multiple breakaway sessions between a Research Mentor and five to six participants into order to bring in a fruitful and intensive discussion. At the end of the Workshop, we envisage the participants to be able to perceptively rewrite their existing proposals, further complicate their questions and methodologies as well as widen the scope and application of their respective research. The Workshop will be held on the 7th, 8th, 9th and 11th of September, 2020 from 3pm to 5pm ( IST).
