| | | | Announcement Regarding CISSR’s Planned CFPs for Academic Year 2020-2021 | | | |
|
|
|
| | In typical years, CISSR opens the autumn quarter by circulating a Call for Proposals for our annual Faculty Fellows program. But this is not a typical year. In the face of much uncertainty, the CISSR Board has decided to delay our call for research proposals from faculty. Awards for graduate students (Rudolph Field Research Awards and Dissertation Support Awards) will continue as usual, with winter-quarter CFPs and spring-quarter decisions. Faculty can still apply for support through our Book Workshop and Monograph Enhancement awards; applications for both programs are evaluated on a rolling basis. Expect an update on the faculty research awards in mid-January 2021.

| | New book from CISSR Faculty Fellow Austin Carson
Join us in congratulating CISSR Faculty Fellow Austin Carson and co-author Allison Carnegie on the recent publication of their book, Secrets in Global Governance: Disclosure Dilemmas and the Challenge of International Cooperation. States are often reluctant to share information regarding the violation of international rules, usually out of concern for revealing sensitive economic information or methods of gathering intelligence. Using statistical analysis, interviews, and archival research, Carson and Carnegie argue that international organizations with robust confidentiality systems can act on sensitive information without revealing it widely.

| | CISSR Dissertation Fellow reviews work on grassroots religion under Mao
2019-2020 CISSR Dissertation Fellow Daniel Knorr reviews Maoism and Grassroots Religion: The Communist Revolution and the Reinvention of Religious Life in China by Xiaoxuan Wang. Knorr asks whether a consideration for religion should broaden our understanding of what Maoism is, or whether the “Maoism” invoked by the book’s title is an empty signifier altogether.

| | Dismantling democracy via policing in Indonesia
CISSR 2017-2018 Dissertation Fellow Sana Jaffrey’s work was recently published in the book Democracy in Indonesia: From Stagnation to Regression? In her chapter, “In the State’s Stead? Vigilantism and Policing of Religious Offence in Indonesia”, Jaffrey argues that hardline organizations have adopted vigilantism in the face of persistent electoral failure. In this context, targeting religious offenses serves as an alternative mechanism for dismantling basic democratic freedoms. Read more here...
