[INDOLOGY] Sanskrit Traditions Symposium 2026 -- Call for Papers

[Rembert Lutjeharms]

*The 42nd Annual Sanskrit Traditions Symposium*
*Friday 22 May 2026*

The 42nd annual The Sanskrit Traditions Symposium will take place in
Oxford, at Trinity College, on Friday 22 May 2026, hosted by the Oxford
Centre for Hindu Studies. We invite proposals for papers on any aspect of
South Asia’s rich Sanskrit religious and intellectual culture.

Proposals of 300-500 words should be submitted by *Sunday 15 February 2026*.
They should be sent to the organising committee: *stimw at ochs.org.uk
<stimw at ochs.org.uk>.*

We also welcome proposals for shorter research reports by graduate students.

The deadline for the submission of the accepted papers (which will be
pre-circulated to the attendees) will be Monday 27 April 2026.

*Papers and Format *- We welcome papers by leading scholars in the field as
well as by research students. Papers are pre-circulated so that
participants can read them before the seminar to ensure the best possible
use of discussion time. *Papers are therefore not read out at the
seminar *itself
but instead briefly introduced by the chair who will then raise questions
to the paper-giver, before opening the discussion. Papers should be no
longer than 20 A4 pages (or under 8,000 words), including notes and
references. We also welcome shorter research reports from graduate
students. To facilitate discussion for those short of reading time,
paper-givers should provide a one-page abstract of the key argument of the
paper, along with their paper. Please include your email address for
further feedback.

Please note that this will be an in-person event.
