Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Fall semester. The last several months have been difficult for all of us and I hope that you and your loved ones are all safe and well. Our events continue to be virtual this semester, but despite the many constraints still in place, we continue to organize programs on a wide variety of themes, support graduate students, fundraise for new programs, publish articles and working papers, and highlight scholarship on various contemporary topics. Please do share our events with friends and colleagues, especially those based in South Asia. The advantage of Zoom is that audience members can attend from anywhere around the world.
After a year-long gap, we are thrilled to hold our
Annual Reception on Tuesday, September 28, between 4 and 6 pm, at 10 Stephens Hall. Please join us to meet old friends, make new ones, and collectively celebrate the start of a new academic year.
Programs this semester cover a wide variety of themes, including Tagorean visions of aesthetics and politics (
Ananya Vajpeyi), governance in Bangladesh (
Mirza Hasan and
Naomi Hossain), agrarian commodity flows between Bangladesh and India (
Sahana Ghosh), the impact of 1971 on female early marriage (
Niaz Asadullah, Zaki Wahhaj, Anirban Mitra), and understanding the Covid-19 virus in Bangladesh and India (
Siddhartha Mukherjee).
