In 2012, the British Association of South Asian Studies will hold its annual conference at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), in London. The theme of the conference will be the future of South Asia. The conference aims to lay bare the diverse and complex ways in which future trends and developments in the South Asia region and the way in which we understand and encourage interdisciplinary conversations about the region.
We invite proposals for panels and papers that address the future of South Asia at a personal, local, state and inter-state levels within South Asia and across its diaspora. Panels and papers might be keyed around issues of community, class, caste, ethnicity, gender, nation, governance, law, geography, development, culture, environment, history, language, art, linguistics, and representation. We welcome bold, provocative, and innovative themes.
Conference Dates: 12-14 April
