The panel will include faculty from several Emory departments:

Das Acevedo’s India scholarship is heavily focused on personhood, religion, and the contours of democratic governance. Since 2007, she has spent considerable time studying the governance of Hindu temples as a window into secular politics and citizen-state relations.
