USE<\/h2>\n

IN THE CLASSROOM<\/h3>\n

Harshita Mruthinti Kamath<\/a>, who serves as Emory’s Visweswara Rao and Sita Koppaka Assistant Professor of Telugu Culture, Literature and History, has used the Telugu palm leaf manuscript to teach her “Introduction to South Asian Civilizations” and “Poetry of Gods and Kings: A Thousand Years of South Indian Literature” courses. In 2018-19 her students visited Special Collections at Pitts Theology Library to see the manuscript. They learned about the oral-performative dimensions of the Telugu Mah\u0101bh\u0101rata<\/span><\/em>\u00a0and how these texts were preserved on manuscript palm leaves.<\/p>\n

To consider other uses in the classroom, please contact Gautham Reddy<\/a>, South Asian Studies Librarian: gmreddy@emory.edu<\/p>\n
