SOUTH ASIAN RELIGIONS AND CULTURE RESEARCH FOCUS GROUP
Co-Conveners, Barbara Holdrege and Gurinder Singh Mann
NOTE: NEW DATE & LOCATION
Friday, January 27 / 3:00 pm / 3041 HSSB

Please join us for an important planning meeting for the South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group. Following our successful inaugural conference on South Asian Studies in the United States in November, we invite all interested faculty and graduate students to join us to discuss our program of visiting lecturers for the winter and spring quarters and to help us plan the group's activities for the coming years.

The South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group serves as a multidisciplinary forum for faculty and graduate students to meet and discuss the participants' ongoing research projects as well as a range of social, cultural, and religious issues in South Asian studies. The topics that we intend to explore over the coming years include shifting paradigms in South Asian studies; ethnography of rituals; diaspora and transnational identities; religious nationalisms; spatial analysis of sacred places, cultural landscapes, and cyberspace; visual culture; cinema and post-colonial media theory; and race, gender, and identity politics.

Sponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religion and Cultures Research Focus Group.
