CO-SPONSORED EVENTS HELD AT THE HUMANITIES CENTER
Sikholars - Sikh Studies Conference
Sunday February 17, 2013 | 08:00 AM -07:00 PM | Stanford Humanities Center Levinthal Hall
For the past four years, the Jakara Movement has created a forum for budding scholars and researchers, working on various projects Sikh, to come together, share, and challenge each one another. The Sikholars conference has attracted young scholars from over three continents and twenty–five universities. With topics ranging from Khalistan to Unix Coding, from sex-selective abortion to diasporic literature, from Nihangs in the court of Ranjit Singh to the North American bhangra circuit, from Sikh sculpture and architecture to representations of masculinity in Punjabi films, we encourage the widest possible range of those pursuing graduate studies on Sikh-related topics. While all topics are welcomed and panels will be formed around their various themes—this year we seek to form two panels for special consideration. The Challenge of Caste Panel Connected to broader themes being explored this year by the organizing institution, we seek special papers that explore the issue of caste amongst Sikh populations. From ethnography to sociology, from internet studies to musicology, from history to anthropology, we welcome any number of approaches to the question of caste, whether located in South Asia or the diaspora. Please indicate on the application if your subject is related to this theme. Technology and Entrepreneurship Panel Due to the widespread interest and demand from attendees, we will have a special panel devoted to technological entrepreneurship. The panel will be limited to three panelists for this inaugural year.
