South Asia Center is an intellectual meeting place for North American and South Asian students, professionals, scholars, and educators interested in social and cultural spaces and landscapes, and their various aspects, to engage in research, collaborative learning, and professional and scholarly exchanges. It is developed as a prime locus for collaboration among South Asian professionals and academic and, thereby, a nexus for American students, scholars, and professionals to collaborate with their South Asian counterparts in a much broader and deeper way than what any collaborative program between two particular schools affords. The Center is not a physical place; rather it is defined by the semester-program conducted by Ball State University in a selected city in South Asia.
