The Duke Center for South Asian Studies is dedicated to the interdisciplinary and cross-schools study of and research in that part of the world labeled South Asia. This region covers the modern nation-states of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. While faculty and graduate students dedicated to the humanistic and social scientific study of this region are largely located in the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, South Asian Studies faculty have appointments as well in the Duke Global Health Initiative, Fuqua School of Business, Nicholas School of the Environment, and Sanford School of Public Policy.
