This project aims to help develop Himalayan Studies at UC Berkeley in partnership with the Centre d'Etudes Himalayennes (CEH) of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in France, which is providing matching funds. For this we are hosting a workshop at Berkeley that will bring together experts from both institutions, including graduate students, working on the Himalayan region in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The broadly configured workshop (which will include Environmental Studies, and cover "Tibet and its Margins,"and "Newar Society, Religion and Art") will allow us to explore specific forms of collaboration and lay the ground for developing research partnerships beyond.
