"Sri Lanka: Remaking Society"

The 2011 Sri Lanka Graduate Conference will be onMarch 25th and 26th
at the India- China Institute, the New School for Social Research, New

with the highly successful first Graduate Conference in April 2010,
this workshop will bring together graduate students both in the final
writing up stage and pre-research/planning stages from a variety of
disciplines and institutions. In 2011 we will look at Sri
Lanka's(contemporary and historical) variegated social formations and
their processes, flux, renewals, and aphasias. We particularly welcome
panel proposals focusing on the following broad themes: family,
marriage, and kinship; civil society actors and institutions; notions
of the civic and/or the public in Sri Lanka; intersections of gender,
caste, class; aesthetics and aesthetic production; ecology and
environment; displacement, resettlement and return; citizenship and/or
transnational communities; reconciliation; youth, generation, and
youth cultures; education, law, religion (or intersections between).
The workshop aims to enhance intellectual exchange on SriLanka,
emphasize the production of empirical and non sectarian knowledge,
focus attention on recent potential transformation of key concepts,
and strengthen and build a new cohort of researchers (and research)
across disciplines and institutions as well as strengthen
relationships between American graduate students and local
intellectual circles in Sri Lanka. The workshop takes placeover 2
days. The first day will be open to the public and comprise of three
student panels. The second day will be two private sessions, a small
closed pre-dissertation development seminar for selected participants
(see below for details), and a roundtable discussion for all
participants. The pre-dissertation development seminar is to assist
graduate students in developing their research projects. This will be
a closed session for 6 participants. Students in Masters and PhD
