Keynote Speaker:
Diane Eck, Professor of Comparative Religion and Indian Studies and Frederic Wertham Professor of Law and Psychiatry in Society, Harvard University
Educators for Teaching India presents its fourth annual conference, "Holy India: Religion in the Modern Subcontinent." Why is India so often defined by its spirituality, and to what extent are these definitions accurate? What constitutes "worship" in Indian faiths? Keynote speaker Diane Eck will explore these questions, and participants will examine them through compelling workshop topics that consider pedagogy and other implications for teaching India and South Asia in the middle and high school classroom. The day will close with a panel discussion of the role of religion in 21st century India and an outdoor reception.
This conference is sponsored by Educators For Teaching India in conjunction with The Winsor School, Phillips Academy, and The Groton School. |
