We are pleased to announce that the Gurmani Centre for Languages and Literature at LUMS will be hosting its annual conference on Saturday, May 17, 2025, titled:

Tashkīl-e-Ilm aur Lisānī Siyāsat: aik tārīkhī aur siyāsī muḥākmah


This year’s conference explores the complex relationship between language, knowledge production, and political power in colonial South Asia, with particular emphasis on the languages spoken in present-day Pakistan. Drawing on critical scholarship, we will examine how colonial institutions and technologies, as well as local literary traditions, shaped new language-based identities, and epistemologies. The conference will also consider the legacies of these colonial discourses in the post-1947 period.

Important Note: Due to limited seating capacity, only those participants who have received a confirmation email will be accommodated as audience members at the conference. We especially encourage early career researchers and graduate students to register, as their participation is prioritized. However, attendance is subject to confirmation.
