2019 Rustgi Undergraduate Conference on South Asia
Exploring Culture,
Climate, and Connections
November 2, 2019
University at Buffalo,
SUNY
We
present the second annual Rustgi Undergraduate Conference on South Asia by
reflecting upon the rich history of South Asia, and its connection to present
day conditions regarding culture and climate. We invite papers on the theme of
“Exploring Culture, Climate, and Connections,” where climate may be interpreted
broadly, whether in its social, political, or environmental sense. The
conference will feature a keynote lecture from Suraj Yengde, award-winning
scholar and activist from India.
Undergraduate
participants from all disciplines, working on any topic relating to the region,
are welcome to submit proposals. Possible topics of discussion include:
- Social
issues, human rights issues, LGBTQ issues, gender and caste concerns in
present-day Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma, India, Maldives,
Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
- Literary
genres, artistic movements, new and old technologies, trends in South
Asian cinema and pop culture.
- Sustainability
and environmental revitalization efforts.
- Human
migration, population shifts, and related environmental issues.
- Modern
social movements.
- The
ebb and flow of religious factions and fundamentalisms within Buddhism,
Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism.
- Trends
in domestic and international law, including NGO and INGO work.
- The
impact, or lack thereof, regarding education and the spread of accurate
information.
- Wars,
genocides, ethnic or political violence, and refugee issues (in recent or
long-standing conflicts).
While
this list of suggestions is by no means exhaustive, we encourage papers that
address less commonly researched sociopolitical issues, communities, or
theories. We hope to organize panels with presenters addressing similar issues
from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.
