The British Association of South Asian Studies (BASAS) will hold its annual conference from 1:30pm Wednesday 19 April, to 12:30pm Friday 21 April 2017, at the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University. The conference is hosted by Nottingham University’s Institute of Asia and Pacific Studies (IAPS) and Nottingham Trent University’s Postcolonial Studies Centre. The keynote speaker is Urvashi Butalia, sponsored by IAPS.
We are now accepting panel and paper submissions for the 2017 conference. This year there is no specific theme for the conference - we invite proposals for both panels and independent papers from all humanities, arts, and social science disciplines, covering research on the breadth of South Asia and its diaspora. As always we welcome bold, innovative, and interdisciplinary approaches.
Please submit your panel and paper proposals to the conference organisers at basas2017@nottingham.ac.uk by the dates shown below.
- Panel proposals (150-200 word abstract). Panels will last for 90 minutes, and it is advisable that proposals allow sufficient time for the presentation of papers as well as discussion.
- Independent papers (100-150 word abstract).
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 30 November 2016
