The South Asia Forum offers spaces for UC Berkeley students to engage in interdisciplinary conversations on South Asia. Through reading groups, student-led research workshops, and the Young Scholars Research Symposium, these spaces will foster the growth of a new generation of South Asia scholars. The aim of this program is to provide a forum for undergraduate and graduate students to engage in scholarly dialogue and to foster the free exchange of ideas on shared research interests.
