Himalayan Connections: Disciplines, Geographies, Trajectories
An interdisciplinary workshop at Yale University
March 9-10, 2013
Workshop report and video proceedings are now available HERE.
This workshop aims to interrogate the notion of Himalayan Studies writ large, foregrounding connections between academic disciplines, local geographies, and trajectories of study over time. Our collective considerations will highlight links across the landscapes of Himalayan research while considering the often-contested nature of “Himalaya” as an analytical category. We hope this attention to the diverse interests that comprise contemporary Himalayan Studies will lead to new insights and collaborative research platforms.
Funded by the Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Memorial Fund, the Council on East Asian Studies, and the South Asian Studies Council at Yale University; with additional support from the Department of Anthropology, Department of Religious Studies, the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, and the Yale Himalaya Initiative
Organized in conjunction with the India China Institute, The New School
