The UW-Madison Center for South Asia is grateful for your continued support of the Annual Conference on South Asia. Last year’s conference offered us the opportunity to welcome many first-time attendees to the ACSA community and connect with our vibrant community of scholars.
The submission portal for the 54th Annual Conference on South Asia will open on Sunday, February 1, 2026, for all proposal types. The theme for this year’s conference is Transcending Borders and Nationalism: South Asia as cultures, histories, and topography. We invite proposals related to all countries of South Asia across a range of disciplines. The 54th ACSA is scheduled to meet in-person, October 28-31, 2026 (Wed-Sat), at the Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor’s Club in Madison, Wisconsin. Register and submit proposals here.
