New SASNET seminar series on anti-caste thinking as political theory

24 February 2026 12:30 | Seminar

SASNET will, beginning in February, host a new online seminar series on the theme anti-caste thinking as political theory. The seminar series will be convened by Rajat Roy (Presidency University) and Ted Svensson (Lund University).

The ambition is to invite scholars who through their work address and analyse the nuances of various expressions of anti-caste thinking to the seminar series in order to open up critical discussions about the current limits of political theory and global political thought. As it aims to illuminate and attend to the wider landscape of anti-caste thought in South Asia and beyond, the seminar series will especially try to foreground thinkers who may be less known in the academic mainstream.

The first presenter is Dickens Leonard, Assistant Professor at IIT Delhi. He will present a paper titled A Subject Realised or Disguised? The Figure of the Brahmin in Anti-Caste Thought.

The seminar takes place on Zoom on 24 February at 12.30 (CET) and 17.00 (IST).

If you would like to participate in the seminar, please send an email to ted [dot] svensson [at] svet [dot] lu [dot] se (ted[dot]svensson[at]svet[dot]lu[dot]se). You will, thereafter, receive a Zoom invitation.
