SASA Brown Bag Radio Schedule - Sep 2008
South Asian Studies Association (SASA), Woodland Hills, CA, US.
Self-description: "[...] The South Asian Studies Association [http://www.sasia.org - ed.] began as a project of Asian Studies on the Pacific Coast, a professional association of 1,800 scholars. Using the name South Asian Studies Alliance, reflective of the fact that several other organizations interested in South Asia came together as partners, SASA held its foundational conference at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, April 15-17, 2007. [...] SASA' s Brown Bag Radio initiative brings current research and topical issues about South Asia live to the Internet. Presentations are modeled on brown bag seminars of the sort held at universities and think tanks around the world. The presenter has between 20 and 30 minutes to speak. An associated PowerPoint file accompanies the talk and is available for download. A discussant gets first chance at asking questions and moderates call-in questions (details given during the live broadcast). A Q&A session fills the hour. A day later the MP3 file is posted to our blog. The PowerPoint file remains online. If you miss the live presentation you can still listen to it at any time and participate in the discussion via questions posted to the blog."
