Rini B. Mehta, Associate Professor of Comparative and World Literature, is the first Faculty Director of South Asian Studies. Mehta will oversee programming and academic engagements related to South Asia, working in collaboration with Eric Calderwood, Director of CSAMES.

South Asian Studies has been part of the Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (CSAMES) since its inception in 1983. It will continue to be administered under CSAMES until a self-standing center for South Asian studies is eventually created on campus.

Please direct all inquiries, advice, and suggestions related to South Asian Studies to Prof. Mehta at rbhttchr@illinois.edu.

Note on finding material related to South Asia on the website:

This page and the South Asian Studies dropdown menu on the top navigation bar should contain links to all material related to South Asia. Links and pages will be added as more archival material and programming information are added to the website. We appreciate your patience as we organize years of archival material.
