CSA Alumni Perspective
LAKMALI JAYASINGHE Ph.D. in Comparative Literature, 2021
When I think of the Center for South Asia, I am reminded of the quintessential medieval town square, also known as the plaza, the agora, or the piazza. It structurally supported the flourishing of culture, community, and democracy. The Center for South Asia is, in many ways, one of Stanford’s town squares. The experience of putting together the Sri Lanka Conference as a member of the conference organizing committee during the first two years of my Ph.D. program is one of the memorable engagements I’ve had with the Center for South Asia.
