Project Summary
The University of Iowa proposes to use Ford Foundation funds during Phase 1 to carry out two ambitious projects that will forge closer research, instructional and theoretical links between the South Asian Studies and African Studies programs. In one project a year-long sequence involving study-group meetings, sequential visits to Africa and India, joint-area instruction, and a coordinated conference will be carried out under the rubric of "Diasporas and Exchanges across the Indian Ocean."
