CFP: “Entangled Histories, Emerging Futures: South Asia in a Multipolar World“
The Journal of South Asian Exchanges (ISSN: 3048-8877) invites submissions for its upcoming special issue dedicated to the rich, layered, and dynamic terrain of South Asian Studies. This issue seeks to cultivate cross-disciplinary conversations that explore both the historical depth and contemporary complexities of South Asia, from its ancient entanglements to its evolving place in the 21st-century global order. We are especially interested in papers that foreground interdisciplinary approaches and prioritize marginalized perspectives—scholarship that moves beyond binaries and embraces the messy, hybrid realities of the region.
