Jim Laine, Arnold H. Lowe Professor and Chair of the Macalester
Religious Studies department, specializes in the religions of
Asia and Islam. He works with the study abroad program in India sponsored by the Associated
Colleges of the Midwest and continues to research Hindu-Muslim relations in
17th century India. He leads the Maharashtra Studies Group of the Association for Asian Studies, and was co-director (with Classics Professor
Andrew
Overman) of a summer 2000 NEH seminar for teachers. His latest
book,
SHIVAJI: HINDU KING IN ISLAMIC INDIA (OXFORD, 2003) traces the
biographies
and legends of a popular Hindu hero from the seventeenth century
to the
present. He also teaches courses within the Asian Studies Department at Macalester.
