> of religious diversity and rapidly changing social and political
> landscape. How all these factors impinge on the identity formation of
> Muslims and Muslim societies will be explored in this conference.

> Abstracts are welcome in two broad areas:

> 1.How Islam in its theology, practices and ethical teachings impacts on
> Muslim identity formation
> 2.How living in a religiously diverse society influences identity

From: Alexandra Marie Elias <amelias@maxwell.syr.edu>
Dear colleagues,
Please find below and attached the call for papers for "Violence and
Resistance," the fifth annual graduate conference hosted by the Syracuse
University Department of History Future Professoriate Program. The
conference will take place March 29th, 2013 in Syracuse, New York.

Alexandra Elias
Doctoral Candidate
Syracuse University Department of History
The Future Professoriate Program for the Department of History
at Syracuse University invites graduate students at all levels to submit
paper proposals for its Fifth Annual Syracuse Graduate History Conference,
to be held on March 29th, 2013. Our organization's goal is to help graduate
students grow as professionals within the academic community. Graduate
students are welcome to propose either individual or panel presentations.
This year's theme is "Violence and Resistance." These have
become increasingly central to scholarship and have been a palpable
presence both on the news and in our classrooms. We define violence and
resistance broadly. Submitted papers may focus upon the subject and the
connotations thereof in various forms. Topics may include but are not
limited to:
· Memory
· Religion
· Gender
· Military
· Community Identity
· Popular Culture
· Family
· Imperialism/Colonial Experiences
· Landscape
· The Self
· Politics
Presentations will be 20 minutes long in three-person panels.
Priority will be given to panels representing multiple institutions. For
individual paper proposals, please submit abstracts no longer than 300
words and a C.V. For panel proposals, please also submit a 200-word panel
abstract. The proposal deadline is January 15th, 2012. Please submit all
materials to Alexandra Elias at amelias@maxwell.syr.edu
Participants will be responsible for their own travel and meal expenses,
but some refreshments will be provided. We are a welcoming graduate
community and will be happy to answer any questions.

> Dear Colleagues,

> I write this post to seek your help and advice with a course I hope to
> teach on 'Changes in everyday life in twentieth-century India.'
> The course will be taught to M.A. level students in modern history at
> the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.
>
> The beginning and end of the twentieth century will be the two
> boundaries. At the end of the course I would like my students at JNU
> to be able to compare the lives of people from various social classes
> at these two points in time, and to have a sense of what occurred in
> between.
>
> There is a tentative list of topics below. I would particularly
> appreciate suggestions for readings, both for myself and for potential
> students. Also, if you have come across nuggets of information which
> we might now find surprising, please do share them.
>
> TENTATIVE LIST OF TOPICS:
>
> 1. Housing, furniture, water supply and sanitation, electricity
> 2. Food: daily diets, methods of cooking, storage, refrigeration
> 3. Dress: styles and materials
> 4. Health, diseases and medicines
> 5. Work and production
> 6. Items of mass consumption
> 7. Communications and transport
> 8. Marriage, gender relations, and the family
> 9. Social hierarchies
> 10. Avenues of entertainment
> 11. Sources of information and education
> 12. Relationships with government and the city
>
> Advice about other themes which I should cover, and how lectures
> (there would be about fourteen two-hour lectures) could be structured,
> would also be welcome. I would also wish to offer a research seminar
> to M. Phil. students, so please do suggest primary sources which might
> be mined profitably.
>
> The subject is vast, but it also seems far too important to ignore.
> I?m excited at the prospect of a discussion within the wide and
> diverse H-Asia community. So, in advance - thanks a lot!
