The Centre for India and South Asia Research (CISAR) promotes interdisciplinary research related to South Asia, disseminating knowledge through seminars, lectures, and conferences. The Centre brings together faculty, research associates, graduate and undergraduate students, and the public with an interest in South Asia. It also seeks to create and promote institutional and scholar-to-scholar linkages between UBC and institutions in South Asia and beyond, and between UBC and South Asian communities in British Columbia.
CISAR is one of five regional centres under the Institute of Asian Research at UBC.
Upcoming Events
Undertaking CISAR activities allowed me to find community on campus. It has brought me in touch with several faculty, students and progressives in BC with whom I have the opportunity to learn, collaborate and break naan. I hope that CISAR continues to provide this type of community for others thinking about South Asia.
