The annual International Sikh Research Conference (ISRC) brings together academics, scholars and researchers and to encourage a spirit of collaboration within international Sikh studies academia. The conference aims to explore research and academic inquiry into various aspects of Sikh studies by providing an environment where academics, researchers and scholars can come together to pursue critical debate, discussion and inquiry into the many aspects of Sikh research in an open, constructive and collegial manner. The event provides a forum for collaborative dialogue and knowledge exchange as well as to raise awareness of academic enquiry and lines of research amongst the UK population. The conference will bring together presentations from leading researchers in the field of Sikh Studies and associated scholars in other fields. Scholars, researchers and academics are encouraged to submit a 300-500 word abstract which highlights research on any of the following themes: Musicology, History, Philosophy, Scripture, Diaspora, Identity, Politics. Abstracts may reflect completed research projects as well as work in progress. Other relevant related topics are also welcome. Submissions must represent a significant element of original research and must not have previously been submitted elsewhere. Abstracts/papers must be original work which has not been submitted or presented elsewhere. All authors of a paper must have made a recognizable contribution to the paper and honorary’ authorships will result in the entire paper being rejected. All Presenters are expected to consider their own travel expenses to the Conference. In the interests of openness, fairness and transparency, submissions will be blind peer reviewed |
