Dear colleagues,

Lisa Brooks and I are currently working on the schedule of the forthcoming season of our online group "History of Science in Early South Asia"with the Consortium for the History of Science and Medicine . See https://www.chstm.org/group/history-science-early-south-asia

The working group brings together scholars who study the history of science in South Asia before about 1800 and as discoverable from literatures in Sanskrit and other indigenous Indian languages. We have had talks on mathematics, medicine, astronomy, alchemy, metallurgy and others so far. The group meets monthly during the academic year. We welcome the presentation of individual and group work-in-progress, facilitated discussions of published articles and books, and focused reading sessions in Indic languages.

We still have several open slots for the new season, starting in September. Please get in touch with Lisa and me if you would like to present or discuss your research. We welcome both new and established scholars.

Kind regards,

Dagmar (and Lisa)
