Scholarships and Visiting Fellows
For Hilary Term 2019 we welcomed both Zoë Slatoff, our Sanskrit course developer, and Daniel Simpson,
our Philosophy of Yoga tutor, on a scholarship to the OCHS. These were kindly funded by Mr Azad
Shivdasani and Mr Ajay Khaitan.
The aims of the scholarship were to: (1) enable both to work towards doctorates, (2) to assist in development
planning for the Continuing Education Department, (3) in Daniel’s case, to help him begin development
of a new online course. This may be a model for CED Fellowships and paid internships with an aim
to set specific goals for recipients.
We also worked with Visiting Fellows to develop new courses. In Michaelmas 2018, Prof. Himanshu
Prabha Ray and Dr Salila Kulshreshtha filmed lectures for their courses, ‘Hindu Temples and Archaeology’
and ‘Hindu Art’ respectively.
Prof. Mandakranta Bose wrote up her forthcoming course on ‘Women in Hinduism’ during Trinity
term.
