About NLSIU Workshop on Gender Horizon
The Centre for Women and the Law (CWL) is organizing a workshop on December 14, 2024, on the NLSIU campus for a proposed volume titled ‘Politics of Waiting and an Expanding Gender Horizon: The Social, Political, and Legal Discourses in India.’
Overview
The proposed volume aims to reimagine ‘gender’ through the conceptual framework of the ‘politics of waiting’. As we explore the social and legal discourses shaping and transforming ‘gender’ as an analytical category, we intend to push our thinking to examine the intersection between gender and waiting. This one-day workshop, designed to deliver constructive feedback to the contributors, is instrumental for manuscript preparation. Twelve chapters with contributors from all over the country are invited to the NLSIU campus. The volume is currently under contract with Routledge (Taylor & Francis).
Here is the detailed concept note and the abstracts of the chapters of the volume.
