OCHS is committed to educational outreach, extending its audience through publications, lectures and interactive resources that are accessible to everyone.
OCHS-Routledge Hindu Studies book series
The OCHS-Routledge Hindu Studies book series is aimed at bringing Hindu traditions into dialogue with contemporary trends in scholarship and contemporary society. These publications help increase and challenge our understanding of Indian cultures.
The Online Library
The OCHS Online Library is an instant resource for cutting edge research and debate. It makes OCHS’ wide-ranging programme of lectures, seminars, discussions and conferences available from our website as an extensive library of MP3 downloads. This audio library brings Oxford scholarship to a global audience and provides a growing source of information on all aspects of Hindu life. Podcasts are also available for all these lectures and seminars at www.ochs.org.uk.
Monograph series
OCHS’s monograph series gives voice to younger scholars and contemporary research through translation and interpretation. These accessible publications allow emerging scholars to share their ideas with a boarder audience.
OCHS events
Everyone can visit OCHS at events held around the country. These rewarding lectures and debates are dedicated to a shared exploration of Indian society throughout its history and across the world.
“There has perhaps never been more confusion about religion – much of it dangerous confusion. Yet with globalisation and the spread of multifaith societies there has never been a greater need for understanding of the different world traditions. That is why I am delighted that Oxford University has granted recognition to the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies. This will encourage the spread of knowledge about a great culture which the West has found difficult to understand because of its unique diversity and philosophical breadth.”
