Following the successful biennial online conferences “Emerging Trends in Research on Classical Indian Dance” in 2020 and 2022 we are planning to conduct the third edition of the conference on 25th and 26th October 2024 online via Zoom.
The conference is jointly organised by Giridhar Raghunathan from the Centre for Research in Arts and Creative Exchange (CRACE), University of Roehampton, UK and Dr. des. Sandra J. Schlage from the Department for Asian and Islamic Art History, University of Bonn, Germany. We wish to provide a platform for PhD candidates and early career researchers (those who completed PhD within the last 5 years) to present and discuss their ongoing research.
Professor Ann R David, PhD, MA (Dist.), FHEA (Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Bonn, Germany and Professor Emerita of Dance and Cultural Engagement, University of Roehampton, London, UK) will be delivering a keynote address at the event.
We invite participants to submit paper proposals discussing current, innovative research on classical Indian dance forms or closely related topics. Each speaker will be allocated approximately 20 minutes for the online presentation followed by Q&A for 10 minutes.
To present your research, please send an abstract of max. 250 words and a short biography of 150 words including your affiliation and contact details to Giridhar Raghunathan (raghunag@roehampton.ac.uk) and Sandra J. Schlage (schlage@uni-bonn.de).
Deadline for submitting your abstract is 1st September 2024 and the selected presenters will be notified by 15th September 2024.
