CSASA-ACESA 2025

Call for Papers: 4th Annual Meeting of CSASA-ACESA

Scholars at all career stages conducting research in South Asian Studies are invited to submit proposals for our 4th Annual Meeting, to be held at Congress 2025 in Toronto, ON (June 3-5), hosted by George Brown College.

CSASA-ACESA: South Asian Studies in Canadian Academic Ecosystems

Echoing the 2025 Congress theme “Reframing Togetherness”, CSASA-ACESA invites submissions that consider this idea in South Asian settings, including transnational and diasporic communities. We are particularly interested in emerging scholarship that is interdisciplinary, and engages with discourses on coloniality, indigeneity, and hierarchy in South Asia; decolonisation of the field of South Asian Studies, and scholarly interventions that decentre whiteness, patriarchy, and casteism. In this vein, we solicit proposals concerned with post-colonial and decolonial topics, and scholarship that centres the voices and narratives of those who have been historically excluded from knowledge production. CSASA-ACESA especially welcomes submissions dealing with these topics in relation to premodern South Asian histories, languages, and material cultures, and invites colleagues to highlight analytical tools that their scholarship on South Asian Studies can offer to wider scholarly discourse.
