Location of The University of Manchester
South Asia is an important geo-political region in today's world. It includes India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan. Transnational South Asian communities span the UK, North America, East Africa and many other locations, as well as the sub-continent itself. This MA programme provides an exciting opportunity for study of South Asia and the diaspora which brings together historical, textual and sociological approaches into creative tension.
It will give you the opportunity to ask questions that matter: how have people understood themselves and 'others'? how has the discourse of religion been involved? why does religion often lead to conflict? what issues are raised by living in a post-colonial, diasporic world? In tackling such questions, you will learn to appraise critiques of Orientalist study, to analyse the effects of scholarship upon South Asian institutions and conceptions of 'religion' and to apply different approaches to material of your choice. A characteristic of our approach in Manchester is our focus on teaching across religious traditions to show their interrelations in a variety of ways.
