Second
Biennial International Conference of Pakistan Studies
Pakistan
in World-Historical Context
From April 29 to May 1 the American
Institute of Pakistan Studies (AIPS) will host the Second Biennial
International Conference of Pakistan Studies at the University
of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
The
focus of this conference, which is open to the general public,
will be the relationship of Pakistan to larger historical processes
not only in the neighboring regions of South and Central Asia,
but in Asia and the Indian Ocean, and in a globalizing world. It
will offer panel discussions and individual research papers
from current research in a variety of fields relating to territory
and peoples of Pakistan, both now and in the past.
