The Divinity School is pleased to announce the 20th Annual South Asia Graduate Student Conference, South Asian Stories and Storytelling, taking place on March 2-3, 2023, in the Swift Hall 3rd Floor Lecture Room and the Swift Hall Common Room.

This year's conference features a host of remarkable scholars of South Asia, particularly those who are interested in the histories, processes, mediums, voicings, and all else that make up South Asian stories. The broad theme has brought forth highly interdisciplinary panels which we hope will spur intellectually invigorating conversations between panelists, moderators, keynote speakers, and audience members. 

Please find the conference schedule and panelists' paper abstracts here. 

The conference will take place in the Swift Hall Lecture Hall (3rd floor). Meals will be served in the Swift Hall Common Room (ground floor).

Wendy Doniger, Mircea Eliade Distinguished Service Professor Emerita of the History of Religions, will be giving the opening remarks on Thursday, March 2.

Anand Venkatkrishnan, Assistant Professor, History of Religion in South Asia, will be the Chair of Panel III: The Telling and Retelling of Stories on Friday, March 3.
