Announcement

 

Following the death of Dr Julia Leslie the School of Oriental and African

Studies (SOAS) and the Centre for Gender and Religions Research at SOAS is

setting up a scholarship fund in her memory in order to ensure that her

legacy continues to benefit the wider academic community. The fund will be

used to support postgraduate students researching issues pertaining to

Indian religious traditions and gender. If you would like to contribute to

the fund please send your donations to Annette Bullen, Executive Officer

(Development), SOAS, Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG

(please make cheques etc. payable to SOAS). Alternatively, fill in the gift

aid form at http://www.soas.ac.uk/outreach/index.cfm?navid=2003 [click on

the 'how you can help' button].

 

Julia founded the Centre for Gender and Religions Research at SOAS in 2001

and under her leadership it has gone on from strength to strength: two new

MA programmes in Gender Studies have been inaugurated, a new project on

Gender, Myth, and Society in the Indian epic the Mahabharata (Epic

Constructions) is in its first year of operation, three very successful

international conferences on topics concerned with religions and gender

research have been held, over 30 research students have benefited from the

Centre's programme, and strong links are being established with scholars

across the world.

 

A memorial service for Julia will be held on the 24th November 2004 and

details will be posted here shortly.
