Demos, Democratization, Democracy
Launched by YCAR in 2020, the Demos, Democratization, Democracy lecture series was conceived as a dynamic intellectual space to critically engage with the ongoing erosion of democratic institutions and practices across South Asia. In response to growing concerns around authoritarianism, religious majoritarianism, and shrinking civic freedoms, the series brings together academics, artists, journalists, scholar-activists, senior PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, from both within and beyond 91ÑÇÉ«.
The series is organized by the South Asia Research Collective at the 91ÑÇÉ« Centre for Asian Research.
