 Everyday Religion and Sustainable Environments in the Himalaya (ERSEH) is a two-day international conference that will take place at The New School March 7-8. All members of The New School Community are welcome to attend.
The ERSEH conference highlights the works-in-progress of ongoing research in the Himalaya conducted by over 40 international scholars and experts. The conference takes an open approach to the understanding of geographic boundaries and demarcations of the Himalaya and it centers instead on linkages between everyday religion and environmental sustainability in rapidly developing Himalayan urban centers, which are loci of increasing importance and scholarly attention. In engaging these themes, the conference will also seek to promote cross-disciplinary approaches, conversations, collaborations, and policy applications.
