About the Journal

The South Asianist is a peer-reviewed journal for early-career researchers in the humanities and social sciences whose work contributes to South Asian studies. The journal provides a platform for young scholars to present and discuss their work, meet other scholars with similar interests, and spur critical debate on the socio-economic, political, cultural and religious aspects that both define South Asia as a region and divide it into units of analysis. At The South Asianist, we are committed to integrity, collaboration, constructive feedback and inclusivity, and to develop lasting relationships with authors and peers. We particularly welcome submissions from South Asian scholars whose work focuses on understudied geographical and thematic areas.
