The CRSI holds annual workshops on themes of shared interest and assists in providing scholarly communication among interested participants. The Living Arts , a nine-month long exhibition of visual and performing arts of India presented by the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa. This celebration of the diversity and complexity of Indian art will feature performances of traditional and contemporary expressions of music, dance and theatre by some of the finest artists in Canada, as well as interactive exhibits of Indian visual art produced in both India and Canada. The Conference on Religion in South India seeks to provide a forum for new and exploratory scholarship and discussions of pedagogy in a more small-scale and leisurely setting than is possible at large scholarly conferences.
Participants make thirty to forty-minute presentations followed by thirty minutes of discussion.
Ample time is provided during the workshop for unstructured discussions.
