The Catholic Studies Unit requests proposals that address South Asian Catholicism. We are particularly interested in exploring both local and global dimensions of South Asian Catholicism in diaspora. Areas of interrogation include: Hindu-Catholic relations, both on the subcontinent and abroad; vernacular theologies that grapple with emplaced meaning-making and/or the experience of belonging to a minority religion; historical and ethnographic approaches to material mediation of Catholic/Hindu divinity in interfaith contexts; challenges to the very category of "Catholic" versus/with/alongside/through practices and/categories of "Hindu," "Muslim," "Jain," "Sikh," etc. in South Asian contexts.
