As part of the schedule, we also have planned talks by Professor Roger Jeffery, Professor Bashabi Fraser, and Dr @olebirklaursen.bsky.social ; a film screening and Q&A with director Sana Bilgrami; and a walking tour of South Asian heritage landmarks within Edinburgh city centre.
ECRs, particularly those from marginalised backgrounds, Global South connections and a history of research interests centring on the wider South Asia region, are invited to approach this ‘Scottish-Indian question’ from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives.
🚨 CfP Alert! 🚨
