2017 Conference

26 May, 2017
All Hallows Campus, Dublin City University

The first Ireland India Postgraduate Conference on South Asia was held by the Ireland India Institute on the 26th of May 2017. Hosted in the picturesque All Hallows’ Campus of DCU it featured two engaging speeches by keynote speakers Dr. Faisal Devji and Dr. Meena Kandasamy and nine panels attended by over fifty participants.

The myriad of research interests and issues that were raised generated interesting discussions and created an open space for academic engagement. The panels ranged from literary readings of South Asia, narrative and memory studies to new perspectives on conflict resolution as well as re-inventing normative academic discourses. The Ireland India Institute was glad to host participants from esteemed institutions across Europe and South Asia and expect a larger participation again for the 2018 South Asia Conference. Faisal Devji and Meena Kandasamy graced the day with keynotes, and 29 participants presented papers on a wide range of issues concerning South Asia.
