Welcome!
The Center for South Asia at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is made up of a community of faculty and staff who reflect the diversity and global relevance of South Asian Studies.
Through our diverse academic disciplines, summer language institute, annual conference, student organizations and outreach programs, the Center seeks to define and promote greater understanding of South Asian history, language, religion and culture.
We also support linkages to other relevant area studies and global studies programs that emphasize transnational flows of culture, people, money in ways that are important to a better understanding of South Asia both in the past and the present.
