36th Annual South Asia Conference University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison Concourse Hotel October 11 - 14, 2007

 

The 36th Annual Conference on South Asia will be held on October 11 - 14, 2007 at the Madison Concourse Hotel, 1 West Dayton St., Madison, WI 53703. The Conference is sponsored by the Center for South Asia at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The Annual Conference on South Asia attracts over 500 scholars and other interested parties annually, who travel from a dozen countries around the world and much of the United States including Hawaii and Alaska. The conference features over 70 academic panels and roundtables as well as association meetings and special events ranging from performances to film screenings. Included each year are a noted Keynote Speaker and a Plenary Session Speaker.

The special focus of this year's conference is on contemporary India, its culture, politics and economy, on which we especially encourage the submission of panel proposals.  Panels on topics of general South Asian interest are also welcome, as always.

Scholars, professionals and practitioners with interest in any field related to South Asia scholarship, are invited to propose panel or single paper presentations on research or practice. Examples of research can be in any of the following disciplines such as: anthropology, architecture, art, history, literature, politics, women’s studies, religious studies, or film studies to name a few. Non-presenters are also invited to attend.
