Call for Papers
Journal of Dalit Studies
Inaugural Issue Thematic: Dalits in South Asia
Introduction
In the past year and half an international coalition of academicians, civil society activists, policymakers, and other stakeholders working on Dalit issues was established to brainstorm the possibility of publishing a Journal on Dalit Studies.
It was mutually felt that issues pertaining to the Dalit community continue to be overly underrepresented and that there are limited international fora for debating discourses on Dalit
studies. Additionally, in the South Asian context, though spaces for dialogues do exist, they
seem to be largely local or regionally restricted.
In a moral, professional and cross-cultural response to equity, access and social justice, led by
Dignity Initiative, Nepal and supported by scholars and academics working on Dalit issues, a Journal of Dalit Studies was set up in 2020.
