Hindu Studies Colloquium

Description

Stella Sandahl, in the Department of East Asian Studies, is a traditionally trained European Indologist with interests that are many and varied, covering literature, art, language, politics, social and cultural history of Classical, Medieval and Modern India. Her interest in contemporary Indian is focused on Hindu-Muslim relations leading up to the Partition in 1947 and its still highly contentious consequences. When teaching Sanskrit and classical Hindi texts she tries to highlight the close connection between literature and art in a largely visual culture. She also has long-standing research interests in food in medieval India and body care in medieval India based on the Mānasollāsa.
