We have a big South Asia conference? The things you learn from reading blogs.

nothing particular against madison…MESA bores the living hell out of me as well. I just dont like massive conferences with hobnobbing and stuff. My biggest grief is that they will ALWAYS schedule anything I want to attend at the same time. Never fails. At MESA, all the Early Islam panels are at the same time and here all the Mughal ones are at the same time. sigh.
oh, and, panel or paper titles with RE- & POST- also bores the living hell out of me.
I am just a snotty bastard.

Oh, I know we have people here…Andre Wink is one of my Fulbright references and will probably be a reader for my dissertation. It just amuses me how isolated even closely related area studies programs can be from each other.
