| 1: Intersectional Hindu Studies: Feminist and Critical Race Approaches to Research and Teaching Seminar |
Over the past six years, this seminar has brought together racialized scholars of Hindu studies to critically examine the state of the larger field and ways in which this field reifies Islamophobia, casteism and white supremacy. This examination has led to new innovations in disciplinary formations, pedagogical interventions and scholarly trajectories. During the roundtable, Critical Hindu Studies scholars will reflect on the interventions of this seminar, delineate what still needs to be examined, and propose some new directions for this new field.
