The AKG Centre for Research and Studies for the first time will organize a
conference on Kerala studies from Saturday 27th August to Monday 29th
August, 1994, in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.
The AKG Centre has been established to give concrete shape to the ideas of
Mr. A.K. Gopalan (1902-1977), a freedom fighter and communist, and one of
the greatest mass leaders of twentieth-century India. Located at
Thiruvananthapuran, the capital city of Kerala, the AKG Centre organizes
short courses in Social Sciences, public lectures, seminars, and
conferences.
The proposed Conference on Kerala Studies aims to provide a platform of
inter-disciplinary interaction between scholars working on Kerala. On the
first day there will be a symposium on the 'Status of Research on Kerala'.
On the second day there will be parallel sessions on five broad subjects:
(1) Kerala Economy
(2) Society and Politics
(3) History of Kerala
(4) Culture and Languages
(5) Geography and Natural Resources
On the last day a symposium on 'Historical Lessons of the Left in Kerala'
will be held.
The organizers invite everyone working on Kerala to participate in the
Congress and to contribute a paper. The last day for registration for
presentation of papers is 31st March, 1994. A synopsis of the proposed
paper has to be sent along with a completed registration form.
