“This is a natural extension of the strong partnerships the University has enjoyed in India for many years now. Just as we have built upon educational bonds in China, Ghana, South Africa and Brazil in recent years, we look forward to increasing our collaborations in India,” said President Coleman.

James Holloway, Vice Provost for Global and Engaged Educa- tion, says this visit will provide an opportunity to build new collaborations and enhance ex- isting ones. “India offers unique Mary Sue Coleman opportunities for our students to engage in educational experiences that have benefit to both India and to the communities with which they engage.”

The U-M group will have meetings and working sessions in two cities, Delhi and Mumbai, November 13-17, 2013.

Coleman will deliver the keynote address at the India Business Conference in Mumbai, which is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year.

Over the last few years, the U-M India Business Conference has evolved as a platform not only for U-M alumni and students, but also for prominent industry executives and policy-makers to meet and 3 discuss issues of common interest to U.S. and Indian business. “The annual conference is attended by over 300 people and attempts to address the opportunities and challenges fac- ing global businesses in the context of an emerging Indian economy,” said M.S. Krishnan, Director of India Initiatives at the Ross School of Business.

Part of the delegation will also meet U.S. Embassy and Indian government officials to discuss broader partnership possibilities.

When Professor Farina Mir asked me if I would like to develop a course on Indian cinema as part of the College of Literature, Science and Arts’ India in the World Theme Semester, I said yes right away. I was enthusiastic in part because my own research deals with Indian cinema and I had not yet had a chance to develop a course on the topic. But, what excited me more was the opportunity to introduce students to Indian media beyond Bollywood.

To be sure, a course on Hindi-language films would offer students a wonderful introduction to cultural politics in postcolonial India. But there is no denying that Bollywood has come to occupy a privileged position in the study of media in India, and in processes of media globalization in general. This focus on Bollywood marginalizes other media forms and provides too partial a view of Indian media’s place in the world. I decided, therefore, to develop a course that would look not only beyond Bollywood to include Tamil or Telugu-language cinema but weave in a range of media forms including radio, television, documen- tary films, music, and comics/graphic novels.
