South Asia Centre

Description

The LSE South Asia Centre leads LSE’s global engagement with the region — Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka — in the United Kingdom, and in South Asia.

The Centre is the leading hub for South Asia in the United Kingdom, curating platforms to exchange ideas, foster discussions, create knowledge resources, provide research opportunities, and impact policy and public thought. Members embolden critical thinking about issues confronting the region, translate the global relevance of South Asian complexities through interdisciplinary, comparative, perspectival and contextual prisms of analyses, and underline the importance and relevance of South Asia beyond its geographical boundaries, as the world lives through the Covid-19 pandemic and the attendant civilisational turn.
