Call for Papers: Panjab at the Limits of Indian History

Full CFP: https://www.ircpl.columbia.edu/whats-new/panjab-cfp 

We invite scholars from any discipline to submit paper proposals for a two-day workshop, “Panjab at the Limits of Indian History,” to be held at Columbia University in New York City on April 24-25, 2020. The workshop seeks to explore “Panjab” and “Panjabi” amid the assumptions, contradictions and elisions of the conventional study of South Asia. We are interested in papers that examine how various beliefs, practices and traditions emerging from Panjab call into question categories such as “nation,” “religion,” “language,” “capitalism,” “borders” and even “history,” and thereby offer potentially new ways to conceptualize the past and present.

Interested participants should submit a 300-word abstract and two-page Curriculum Vitae to Marianna Pecoraro at [email protected] by January 10, 2020. Read more information here.
