The Sheth Lecture in Indian Studies
The South Asian Studies Program's Annual Sheth Endowed Lecture in Indian Studies, made possible by the generous support of the Sheth Family Foundation, has become a well-attended, highly-regarded part of the programming tradition at Emory. The lecture series, popular among the Emory community and the greater Atlanta community, has hosted an impressive list of scholars and artists, including filmmaker Mira Nair, historian Gyan Prakash, writer Amitav Ghosh, and other leading scholars in their fields.
2005/2006 Sheth Lecturer Mira Nair drew a huge crowd of Emory students, faculty, and community members from Atlanta and from out of state. A question and answer session moderated by Fox 5’s Suchita Vadlamani and Emory Film Studies Professor Matthew Bernstein gave the audience a chance to ask Nair about her film career, her life growing up in India, and her many passions. Her visit and speech received a great deal of media attention, with stories appearing in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Khabar, and a new local film magazine, as well as much press from Fox 5.
