Our program focuses on a meticulous examination of South Asian texts and traditions: the cultural, intellectual, and social practices they shape, along with the varied academic viewpoints required to analyze and document them.
The Department offers long-established graduate programs in Sanskrit and Indian Studies as well as Tibetan and Himalayan Studies. We anticipate that PhD applicants will design additional South Asian Studies curricula. These may concentrate on specific regions, academic disciplines, interdisciplinary approaches, or particular historical periods, including contemporary South Asia. Scholars in South Asian Studies have led groundbreaking interdisciplinary research worldwide, and this initiative aims to foster such scholarly exploration at Harvard.
