If this is your first year attending the Annual Conference on South Asia, please join our Conference Chair, Gudrun Bühnemann, who will host new attendees to the Annual Conference on South Asia to an informal reception. Grab coffee and a scone from one of the break stands on the second floor and meet other new attendees as Dr. Bühnemann offers an overview of the conference with suggestions on what to check out while you are here. This is a great opportunity to meet other new attendees and to form professional relationships at the outset of this year’s Conference.
