International Conference on Shumona Sinha’s Oeuvre in the presence of the author
From July 27 to 29, 2023, the first international conference on the work of Shumona Sinha was held at the University of Passau in the presence of the author in French, with the participation of scholars from four continents and ten countries.
The programme included lectures, readings and discussions around the work of the contemporary writer on themes such as migration, femininity and feminism, refugees and exiles, memory, geographical and narrative spaces, teaching and translation.
By interrogating the connection between migration literature and politics, and writing as a woman across continents, Sinha's novels open up new perspectives on the spaces and identities that make up our world.
An anthology of the conference will be published in 2024.
We are pleased with the lively participation in this event, which was supported by the PICAIS Event Funding.
