Hinglish Workshop 2015 – Recordings

‘Hinglish: Social and Cultural Dimensions of Hindi-English Bilingualism in Contemporary India’

Following upon a successful workshop at Sarai-CSDS in August 2014, the Hinglish Workshop 2015 was organised at SOAS, University of London on 27-28 May, 2015. The workshop sought to continue our exploration of the new porousness of Hindi and English in everyday and cultural practices and the relationship between language choice/use and social, cultural and political imaginaries.

 

The workshop programme and abstracts are available at the SOAS website.

Here are the recordings of the presentations from the workshop. All files are hosted at the Internet Archive.
