2012 International Summer School for Jain Studies

Dear Colleagues,

Please pass along to students and colleagues: the 2012 International Summer School for Jain Studies. This school offers the opportunity for your graduate students and teaching faculty to enjoy an immersive experience in India supported by a return airfare and stipend. The International Summer School for Jain Studies presents an absolutely unique entry into Indian society today; participants visit several locations along with many chances to visit with local people. These unique experiences accompany the intensive research on Indian history, sociology, philosophy and languages. This is an opportunity to achieve personal depth and interdisciplinary breadth that is difficult to find by other means.
