Today we are spotlighting Constantine V. Nakassis, Associate Professor of Anthropology, who became COSAS Chair in 2020 and is the main organizer of the Chicago Tamil Forum which begins on May 13. The Chicago Tamil Forum is a workshop for scholars working on Tamilagam to share their ongoing, unpublished work. The theme of the 2021 forum is “Caste and Community in Modern Tamilagam.” Please be sure to check our events page for more information as well as the Chicago Tamil Forum website.
