The discipline that was once called “Oriental Studies” has been divided up in various ways in today’s university. This conference is concerned not with “the death of the discipline” as so many others have been, but rather with the diversity of the disciplines when it comes to studying the non-Western World.

Join us for student papers, two faculty discussion panels, and a keynote address by Professor Aamir Mufti of UCLA. For more information, including a schedule, presentation abstracts and directions, see http://www.columbia.edu/~add2115/gradconf/

Co-sponsored with the Graduate Student Advisory Council; the Institute of African Studies; the Middle East Institute; the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society; and the South Asia Institute.
