The Center for South Asia at
the University of Wisconsin – Madison is made up of
a community of faculty and staff who reflect the diversity
and global relevance of South Asian Studies. We conduct and
support outstanding research that is
relevant to the world around us; teach
all categories of students (undergraduate, graduate, returning
adults, and K-12) how to evaluate and apply an understanding of
South Asia to their personal, academic and professional goals;
and disseminate the results of our research and teaching locally,
nationally and globally through outreach
and service.
Through our diverse academic
disciplines, summer
language institute, annual
conference,
student organizations and outreach
programs, the Center seeks
to define and promote greater understanding of South Asian history,
language, religion and culture. We also support linkages to other
relevant area studies and global studies programs that emphasize
transnational flows of culture, people, money in ways that are
important to a better understanding of South Asia both in the
past and the present. Read
