Master Classes, 2020-21

Master Classes for South Asia Studies

Fall 2020 and Spring 2021

Professor Katherine Ewing, Director of the South Asia Institute, has organized an interdisciplinary series of online "Master Classes" with Columbia South Asia faculty. The Master Classes will provide an opportunity for students to hear faculty present their work, to meet and interact (remotely) with each speaker, and to become more integrated into Columbia’s South Asia community. Students are encouraged to do the assigned readings in advance.

Participation in the Master Classes is limited to Columba students and faculty affiliates. Both undergraduate and graduate students may attend. A tentative schedule of the Master Classes is listed below.

In order to participate in the Master Classes, students must send the following information to William Carrick at <wac2112@columbia.edu>.
