The eighth BNAC Nepal Study Day
19th April 2010
University of Durham

In coordination with the Department of Anthropology, University of Durham (http://www.dur.ac.uk/anthropology/) the Britain-Nepal Academic Council announces its eighth Nepal Study Day to be held on 19 April 2010, at the University of Durham. Last year’s study day was held at Edinburgh, and proved to be a popular, well-attended event. BNAC encourages presentations, sharing and discussion of research and work ongoing in, and on, Nepal (see http://digitalhimalaya.com/bnac/study_days.html for previous days and examples of work presented). Research from all disciplines will be considered, and this includes work here in the UK and elsewhere in relation to the Nepalese Diaspora. We particularly encourage presentations on as yet unpublished ongoing research, and work from doctoral students.

If you are interested in presenting please send a brief abstract of 250 words to Dr Ben Campbell (Ben.Campbell@Durham.ac.uk) by 1 March 2010. In keeping with previous study days, papers of accepted abstracts will not be circulated in advance, but presented on the day. There will be no conference fees, but a small contribution will be collected towards the payment of refreshments. Small bursaries towards travel will be paid for those postgraduates whose presentations are accepted.

Rooms will be available nearby at Collingwood College. With breakfast £28.50 for shared bathroom, with breakfast £39.50 en suite bathroom.

Call 0800 2899 70 or email conference.tourism@durham.ac.uk to make your bookings.
