Seminar on Gender and Social Justice

This occurred after the Sundar Singh Institute’s seminar on Gender and Social Justice in South Asia. Academics, practitioners, and civil society members convened to closely study quasi-stable gender injustices throughout South Asia. The keynotes and panels reviewed governmental policies and legal initiatives as well as ground-level engagement (activism) to address ongoing gendered violence. Participants could assess contemporary scholarship from intersectionality to caste and gender to socioeconomic disbandment and its relationship with marginalized populations. The Institute seeks this kind of conversation for an inclusive social justice project and social change in South Asia.
