The Fourth Interdisciplinary Symposium for Emerging Scholars on India China Studies is part of the India China Institute’s ([ Ссылка ]) continuing commitment to build a community of scholars who are engaged in research that focuses on new and innovative approaches to understanding India-China. The India China Institute is a part of The New School ([ Ссылка ]), at the forefront of understanding and debating social and political issues worldwide.
Presenters selected for this symposium share a broad interest in India-China relations in a globalizing world. The symposium will provide a platform for a select group of early career scholars from India, China, and the United States to present their work and to participate in multi-disciplinary investigation and deliberation with distinguished scholars.
The third part, entitled “Historical Narratives and Contestations” is a presentation of papers, presented by:
- Ashok Gurung
- Mark Frazier
- Joe Thomas Krackattu
- Yuan Zhang
- Barnali Chanda
When discussing the work of each of the presenters, we hope to identify relevant methodological and substantive questions, and where possible answers, through a productive confrontation of diverse disciplinary perspectives. Relevant cross-cutting themes will include that of the role to be played by received and privileged spatial and institutional frames, such as that of the nation-state, in scholarly analyses within the field, and that of how to relate historical and contemporary concerns while avoiding anachronistic fallacies.
We hope that the symposium will provide a milestone in the intellectual definition and institutional development of the field, enhance the sense of community within it, and help to foster more productive directions for teaching and scholarship.
The Fourth Interdisciplinary Symposium for Emerging Scholars on India China Studies is generously supported by The Starr Foundation. Co-sponsored by the interdisciplinary programs in Global, Urban, and Environmental studies at The New School.
