A workshop of the DHARMA project (ERC Grant No. 809994) will take place from January 30 to February 3, 2023, at the EFEO's Pondicherry Center: see https://dharma.hypotheses.org/4677. The focus is on epigraphy, although other disciplines will be represented, and the main theme is “education”. Participants will share their findings on what our sources tell us about education: teaching arrangements and texts taught (Sanskrit or not), arrangements for the care of scholars (Brahmin or not), architectural spaces for preaching, study, or book storage, writing arrangements, remarks on scriptural practices, education in the arts (literature, music, dance, etc.), modes of presentation of graduates, etc. In addition to the papers, which will be presented in the morning, there will be reading sessions in the afternoon, devoted to a range of epigraphic and non-epigraphic sources.
