4) International Trust for
Traditional Medicine Centre, West Bengal, India- Research and
Writing opportunities
The International Trust for Traditional Medicine was
founded in 1995 as a non-profit, registered public
charitable Trust dedicated to the study and research of
Indo-Tibetan and allied medical systems. The ITTM
centre, Vijnana Niwas ('House of Knowledge') is located
in the village of Madhuban ('Honey Forest'), three
kilometres outside the town of Kalimpong, set in India's
eastern Himalayas in a large wooden British colonial
house. ITTM is a dynamic community of academics and
volunteers from all over the world that has thrived for
over ten years by fostering the skills, interests, and
passions of those who have chosen to take part in it. ITTM offers
an excellent base for ethnographic fieldwork and a
meeting place for anthropologists, ethnobotanists,
medical students, and other researchers. ITTM's
extensive network of contacts with local medical
practitioners and experts in traditional medicine, its
library of traditional medicine and Himalayan culture,
and its quiet ambience offers an exceptional place to
study, conduct fieldwork, write up notes, or work on
one's thesis, books, or papers. Researchers
include undergraduate students and students conducting
field research for their Masters, Ph.D., and
postdoctoral theses. To support research and other
interests, ITTM offers contacts with the local Tibetan,
Nepali, and indigenous Lepcha communities, medicinal
practitioners, healers, herbalists, and others.
Depending on
visiting researchers and their interests, we conduct
occasional discussion rounds, lectures, and conferences
on such subjects as fieldwork methods, Tibetan medicine,
social and medical anthropology, traditional medicine of
the Darjeeling Hills, and ethnobotany.
