Call for Proposals

This Consultation invites papers from a wide range of methodological and theoretical approaches. We especially welcome papers on the following topics:

• How memory and history are configured in Sikh contexts (for a possible cosponsored session with the Religion, Memory, History Consultation)
• Teaching Sikhism in the North American context
• Identity politics
• The Dasam Granth

Papers addressing other areas relating to Sikhism will also be considered.

Mission

This Consultation provides a forum for highlighting the most recent and innovative scholarship in the area of Sikh studies. Our work draws from a broad range of methodological and theoretical approaches — history, postcolonial theory, performance theory, popular culture, philosophy, literary criticism, gender studies, etc. — by both established scholars as well as those new to the field. Seeking a balance between critical theory and substantive content, we seek to call into question key critical terms, challenge established frames of reference, and offer innovative and alternative ways in which Sikhs and Sikhism can be understood and studied in the academy.
