In Memoriam:
Srinivas Aravamudan, 1962-2016

At the Franklin Humanities Institute, we mourn the loss of our former Director Srinivas Aravamudan, who passed away on April 13 at age 54. An event in his honor will be held at the FHI on Monday, April 25, 5:30 PM. We invite faculty, students, staff, and members of the Duke community to bring passages from his books, articles, and other works as part of a "slow reading," and to share your memories of Srinivas, particularly during his time as FHI Director.
