In June 2001, G. S. Mann conducted
a workshop on the teaching of Punjabi
to 95 high school teachers in Singapore.
In June 2002, G.S. Mann offered a two-day
workshop to the same group of teachers on the history
and message of the Adi Granth.
Over the past three years G.S. Mann has been supporting and
advising Stanford University's Department
of Religion in developing a course on Sikh Studies.
G.S. Mann advised the California Commission
on Teacher Credentials and National Educational Society
in the creation of teacher's credentials examination for Punjabi
language in Spring 2004.
G.S. Mann has been acting as advisor to the Sikh Heritage Gallery
Project at the Smithsonian Institute,
Washington D.C. The gallery is due to be inaugurated in July
2004.
Since its inception in 1997, our Summer
Program in Punjab Studies has attracted over 100 scholars
from forty-four universities in nine countries
(Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, India, Italy,
Sweden, and the U.S.). Their areas of interest comprised Anthropology,
Architecture, Asian Studies, Economics, Education, Ethnomusicology,
Global Studies, History, International Affairs, Law, Library
Science, Literature, Linguistics, Political Science, Psychology,
Public Administration, Public Health, Religious Studies, Social
Work, and Sociology. The Program has emerged as an important
forum where North American, European, and Punjabi scholars trained
both in the Punjab, as well as in the West, meet and exchange
academic ideas--arguably the most distinctive aspect of the
program.
