TOIndia 2021: Apply for the Summer School!
The TOIndia Summer School offers Master’s students and professionals a broad insight to disentangle recent political, economic and socio-cultural tensions in contemporary India throughout an interdisciplinary approach. From the shocking images of masses of workers flocking streets, stations and railway lines after the lockdown was announced in the subcontinent, to those of the farmers rallies that from Punjab moved to the outskirts of Delhi: instances of unrest emerged powerfully in the past year, bringing to light an increasing tension between developmental policies and the extreme marginalisation of wider strata of society. Increasing unrest was countered with a parallel silencing of voices of dissent from the public debate.
The program, entirely offered in English, is organized by the Department of Cultures, Politics and Society (CPS) of the University of Turin, in collaboration with the Asian Studies Institute (ISA), The Polis Project and the contribution of CRT Foundation.
