The 8th Annual Sinhala Studies Symposium organized by the Department of Sinhala, University of Colombo, is scheduled to be held on 17th October 2018 from 9.00 AM – 6.00 PM at the Department of Sinhala. This year the conference theme is “Sinhala Studies at Crossroads” and the event will be extended through following sub-themes enabling a participation of wide range of scholars from both academic and non-academic research contexts across number of subject disciplines.
The conference will accept research proposals from socio-anthropological studies, political sciences, and other related study disciplines of humanities and social sciences. Thus, our goal is to explore ways in which Sinhala Studies overlap across other disciplines.
