The WGSS department is co-sponsoring the Border Zones of Global South Asia Symposium!
This event gathers interdisciplinary scholars of South Asia to think through questions of obliterative and traumatic violence within border zones of the region. We ground our discussion in Sahana Ghosh’s keynote address drawing from her new book A Thousand Tiny Cuts: Mobility and Security across the Bangladesh-India Borderlands (University of California Press, 2023). Attention to transnational migration, through a feminist perspective, opens up understandings of settler colonialism, complicity, and critical diaspora studies. Emphasis will be on pushing against the spatial and temporal boundaries of current scholarship on South Asia to open up the possibilities for imagining the overlapping, mobile, and shifting ways that these discourses function in larger conversations across Global Asian Studies.
