Sanskrit Traditions in the Modern World
Friday 29th May 2020
The STIWM symposium for 2020 will take place in Oxford on Friday 29th May at Trinity College (Sutro Room). We invite proposals for papers from both established and rising academics on any aspects of South Asia’s rich Sanskrit religious and intellectual culture. Sanskrit Traditions in
the Modern World (STIMW) is a forum for the discussion of
the Sanskrit traditions of South Asia, and the texts and cultures that
have risen out of them.
Proposals of no more 300 words should be submitted by Friday 27th March 2020.
Older archives and information for past STIMW events at the University of Manchester can be found here:
Papers and Format - Papers
are presented 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, including notes and references.
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.
