Call for Papers
Uberoi Seminar at Shawnee State University, OHIO, USA
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting the interdisciplinary conference on Indian Cultural Heritage in the Global Age, which will take place at the Shawnee State University, Portsmouth, Ohio, during September 23-24, 2016. The conference brings together academic research on Indian history, its religious and cultural history. India is home to a number of religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, collectively referred to as the Dharma traditions. In a global world, it is more than ever necessary to understand India, its cultural heritage and religions. Hence we seek papers on all aspects of Indian history, culture, and religions. We are especially seeking papers dedicated to Bhakti, Krishna, Balarama and modern Vaishnavism.
Additionally, selected papers will be included in a collection of essays resulting from the conference.
Please send a 250-word abstract in PDF format and brief (one paragraph maximum) bio to lavanyavemsani@gmail.com or lvemsani@shawnee.edu by April 24, 2016 (11:59 pm). Notifications of acceptance will be sent by June 29, 2016 and the program will be announced by August 29, 2016.
