CSAS has been a hub of interdisciplinary research for faculty and researchers from a variety of disciplines and professional schools at the University of Michigan who are substantially engaged in research and/or teaching on South Asia or have an interest in South Asian studies. To expand this intellectual community and develop a local South Asian studies community, CSAS has established an Affiliates Program.
