The South Asia Center in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington welcomes you to the annual South Asia Conference of the Pacific Northwest (SACPAN). Founded in 1966 by an interdisciplinary group of colleagues from UW and the University of British Columbia, SACPAN is today a collaborative venture sponsored by South Asia specialists at UW, UBC, the University of Oregon, and other institutions in the region. One of the oldest centers of South Asian migration in North America, the Pacific Northwest is an ideal location for a public conference that promotes a richer understanding of South Asia in global, transnational, cross-border, and transregional contexts.<\/p>\n

Stretching across the humanities, social sciences, applied sciences, medical sciences, and professional fields, the\u00a0South\u00a0Asia\u00a0Center is an important intellectual and pedagogical hub for the study of\u00a0South\u00a0Asia. A National Resource Center funded by the Title VI program of the United States Department of Education, our mission is to enhance the study of\u00a0South Asia\u00a0(Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) on campus, in the\u00a0community, across the Pacific Northwest, and throughout the United States. The South Asia Center promotes knowledge about South Asia through innovative research, curricular development, graduate student training, and outreach to educational, civic, and business institutions and the general public.<\/p>\n

\n

Transportation<\/h3>\n

Campus is accessible for cyclists, those taking public transportation, and for drivers. For general transportation information visit the transportation services website<\/a>. Events will be held in the Husky Union Building<\/a> (HUB).<\/p>\n
