We invite proposals for papers for the 41st Spalding Symposium on
Indian Religions, which will be hosted by Cardiff University at St
Michael’s College, Llandaff, on 15th, 16th and 17th April 2016.
The theme this year is ‘narrative’, by which we mean written or orally
transmitted accounts of event that are real or fictive. This could
include topics ranging from the narrative portions of Vedic literature
to oral histories of the partition of India. Our purview includes
religions of South Asian origin wherever in the world they are being
practised, and those of non-South Asian origin present within South
Asia. We welcome papers based upon any and all research methods,
including textual, historical, ethnographic, sociological and
philosophical.
Presenters are usually allocated forty minutes for their paper and
twenty minutes for discussion, and will normally be expected to pay
their own conference registration and expenses. The Symposium fee,
including food and accommodation, will be £175, with a non-residential
rate of £75. Registration details will be sent separately. In some
cases financial assistance for speakers may be available.
We also welcome proposals from doctoral students, who will be
allocated twenty minutes for their paper and ten minutes for
discussion, and offered free registration at the Symposium.
We are delighted to announce our keynote speakers for the Symposium,
and the provisional titles of their papers: Phyllis Granoff, the Lex
Hixon Professor of World Religions at Yale University (‘Narrating
Conversion: Some Reflections on Buddhist and Jain Stories’), and
Rupert Gethin, Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of
Bristol (‘Narrating the Dharma: Frame Stories in the Dīghanikāya’).
If you would like to give a presentation, please send a title and
abstract (maximum 500 words) to the Convenors, Simon Brodbeck and
James Hegarty, at hegartyj@cf.ac.uk>, by 7th
December 2014.
