on Zoom
Madhavi Devasher, Assistant Professor of
Political Science, will give this First Monday presentation.
Title: The Politics of Ethnic Identity in India and Beyond
Description: Ethnic identity--that of caste and religion--shapes politics in India, affecting electoral choice, political party formation, and ethnic violence. Given this context, how can ethnic groups build bridges with each other and resolve issues of discrimination, economic marginalization, and low representation? Devasher draws upon research from her book on the development of cross-ethnic linkages between parties and voters in India, with a particular focus on Muslims, and applies lessons from the successes and failures of ethnic politics in India to concerns about race in the US.

The Center for the Humanities usually hosts First Monday events at the Three
Chimneys Inn in Durham and is currently hosting them on
Zoom. The events center around short, informal talks by faculty members, designed
to give colleagues a window into their work. We reserve time at the end
for questions and conversation.
