Punjab Research Group Conference

June 27, 2014 - June 28, 2014

$25

It is the Punjab Research Group’s 30th Anniversary. To celebrate this milestone the Punjab Research Group have teamed up with Dr Churnjeet Mahn, University of Surrey, and are planning a two-day conference at Coventry University. The conference will be funded by the AHRC project, ‘A Punjabi Palimpsest: Cultural Memory and Amnesia at the Aam Khas Bagh’. This project has looked at the conservation of Mughal-era buildings in Sikh-dominated Punjab, especially in terms of contested heritage and memory. A website connected to the project can be found here: www.thegtroad.com

The conference theme is Memory, which will allow us to reflect on thirty years of Punjab Studies. A selection of the papers presented during this conference will be published in a special edition of the Journal of Punjab Studies and edited by Pippa Virdee and Churnjeet Mahn.
