new Indo-Eurasian list opens

[Guest guest]

Dear List,

 

On behalf of the three of us (M. Witzel, G. Thompson, and S. Farmer),

below you'll find the formal announcement for the new

Indo-Eurasian_Research List.

 

All researchers who sign up on the List will be unmoderated; please

note that it is the intent of this Research List to focus on large and

often controversial issues; the List is open to all, which we think is

essential to the healthy growth of the field; but posts from

non-professional sources or those we view as reflecting prescientific

or nationalistic ideologies will be moderated in the unique (and we

think eminently fair) way reviewed at the end of the announcement.

 

We will be announcing the formation of the List in a number of online

forums in the next week, including the present one, _Electronic

Journal of

Vedic Studies_. We would like the help of current List members in

posting

the announcement online wherever appropriate and, of course, in

initiating

and helping to guide List discussions.

This is a public List both by and for progressive professional

researchers.

 

To sign up, go to:

Cheers -- MW
