DESCRIPTION:This two-day conference will bring together a range of scholar
 s working on Tamil language and literature from the earliest records of th
 e Sangam era to modern lexicography and pedagogy. The University of Oxford
  and Balliol College\, although renowned for the Boden Professorship in Sa
 nskrit\, was also the home of the great Tamil scholar Rev. George Uglow Po
 pe from 1888 till his death in 1908. His translations of the திரு
 க்குறள் (Tirukkuṟaḷ) and திருவாசகம் 
 (Tiruvācakam) remain pillars of Tamil studies in English. We hope that\, 
 in addition to providing a venue for scholars to present their research\, 
 this conference will further revive interest in Tamil studies at the Unive
 rsity of Oxford\, where the language is once again being taught and enrich
 ing students’ understanding of India.
