South Asian Studies Group

The Group aims to promote, foster and develop South Asian Studies at the University of Sydney in collaboration with other universities, members of the business community, and the South Asian-Australian communities in New South Wales. The Group encourages interested students, in Arts and Economics & Business Faculties in particular, to make a study plan for a balance of South Asian courses and languages together with a discipline e.g., Anthropology, Economics, Government and Public Administration, History, Law, Political Economy, Politics, etc

The Group publishes a journal– International Journal of Development Issues.

The Group promotes both academic and applied research on South Asian countries, in the metropolitan area of Sydney, with seminars, library resources and publications. With the help of the business community and other institutions, the Group promotes community awareness of South Asia in Australia.
