FROM THE
DIRECTOR
Greetings from the Center for South Asia. This past year has
been a very busy time as I finished my fourth term as Chair
of the Department of Anthropology in the Summer of 2004 and
took on my new duties as Director for the Center for South Asia.
I want to thank all of my Center affiliated colleagues for their
confidence in electing me to serve as the new Director. I especially
want to thank the outgoing director Vinay Dharwadker for his
prior leadership in the Center and his valuable suggestions
as I took over my new administrative role. I also want to thank
the Center staff, Sharon Dickson, Cathy Schmitt, Rachel Weiss,
Robert Duessler, Emma Beretta and Laura Hammond for their welcome
cooperation and assistance as I have gradually settled in to
my new job. I especially want to thank the Center Advisory Committee,
Charles Hallisey, Kirin Narayan, Hemant Shah, and Andre Wink,
as well as ex-officio members, V. Narayana Rao (Chair, LCA),
Sharon Dickson (Administration), Rachel Weiss (Outreach), and
Mary Rader (Library) for helping to share the burden of leading
the Center. The current and future success of the Center rests
on the generosity, cooperation and efforts of the larger Center
community and I want to take this opportunity to thank you all
for your collegiality. Read article
