Marginality in South Asia across the Disciplines

Next week the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa will host two Center for South Asian Studies Rama Watumull Collaborative Lecture Series fellows.  Professors Ishita Banerjee-Dube and Saurabh Dube of El Colegio de Mexico, both interdisciplinary historians with a distinguished record of publications, will present at a series of four events collectively titled “Marginality in South Asia across the Disciplines.”  

We look forward to seeing everyone there.  Short readings are available for the two workshops—do encourage your graduate students to attend.  Abstracts for each event available upon request.  Please contact Dr. Ned Bertz (bertz[at]hawaii[dot]edu) to have the articles or abstracts sent to you electronically.
