The ASAA Conference in Kandy was a great success . There's a brief report about the conference in the 21st December 2008 edition of The Island which is the main independent English newspaper in Sri Lanka.
After the conference we visited the largest university in Sri Lanka which is 20 minutes drive from Kandy: University of Peradeniya
Their beautiful campus was established in 1954.
After speaking with the Vice Chancellor and Dean of the Faculty of Arts, I visited their Library which is the the oldest and the largest University Library in Sri Lanka. It was quite late in the day when we arrived, so I did not have a lot of time, but did have a meeting with the University Librarian, Harrison Perera, and took a photo of their atmospheric Periodicals Reading Room.
I'll hopefully find time to post more about some of the fabulous conference papers from this cross-disciplinary conference.
