About the Organization

NLSIU was the first National Law University established in India in 1986. The premier law school was set up with a mission to pioneer legal education reforms, and to anchor the transformation of the Indian legal system through research and policy interventions.

Consequently, the NLSIU was one of the first institutions in the country to introduce the five-year integrated law degree at the undergraduate level with the commencement of the first batch in 1988. And for over 30 years now, the University has irrefutably remained a leader in the field of legal education in the country. This long-standing record has been possible due to the strong collaborations between legal academics, the Bar, the Bench and the State Government of Karnataka.

About the Fellowship

Writing Urban India Fellowship Round 3 (WUI 3.0) is a mentoring initiative to nurture early career scholars in writing and publishing on urbanisation in India. The initiative aims to enable candidates with the skills and knowledge required to produce a structured writing output that is academic in nature – through capacity-building workshops, seminars and one-to-one mentorship. The programme will involve offline and online interactions based on feasibility. The first two iterations of Writing Urban India Fellowship were anchored by the Centre for Policy Research.

If you are a research scholar-Ph.D., PostDoc, Junior Faculty member, a practitioner, consultant, architect, lawyer who has a lot of data and field material on the urban question, this fellowship is for you!

We will be especially looking out for those of you who come from social and educational backgrounds where historically, writing (particularly scholarly writing) has not been valued highly. We are looking forward to hearing from all those who are not regular front benchers – but who are from small towns across India and from those for whom writing / speaking / writing in English is not second nature yet. Not because you are disadvantaged but because you probably have a rich story to tell in writing.

Cohort size: We are looking to build a close cohort of 20 fellows

Duration of the Fellowship Programme: 10 months

Eligibility

• Urban Practitioners
• Students (in Ph.D. programmes) with a focus on urban studies
