Centre for South Asian Studies (CSAS)

Description

The Centre for South Asian Studies (CSAS) is the hub for scholarship in and on South Asia at the University of Edinburgh. CSAS brings together expertise on South Asia from multiple disciplines within the University and beyond to enable cross-disciplinary conversations, networks, and collaborations.

CSAS research and teaching span a wide range of issues such as health, climate, caste, gender, care, borders and migration, multispecies justice, ethnicity, religion, infrastructures, conflict and violence, politics, democracy and governance, culture, art and literature, legal systems, and environment and energy. Members and affiliates work in and on different South Asian countries and their diaspora - Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. CSAS also fosters partnerships with practitioners, state agencies, civil society groups, and South Asian universities.

The Centre was founded in 1988, and over the years, has become home to scholars from varied disciplines and units within the University, including Anthropology, the College of Art, Engineering, Social Work, Geography, History, Languages and Cultures, Law, Politics and International Relations, Religious Studies, Sociology, the Vet School, and the Medical School. It also hosts honorary fellows, associated scholars, and visiting scholars from outside the University. CSAS runs a PhD programme in South Asian Studies.
