Short-Term Course
on
Sexuality and
Gender Studies in South Asia
IIT Kharagpur

Course Overview
In recent times
sexuality has emerged as politicized category and discussion on it is neither
novel nor surprising. Many feminist scholars have analyzed political economy of
sexuality and have fairly established that studying sexuality in the context of
South Asia is not only limited to critiquing hetronormativity. At the same time
sexuality and South Asia is also a field of interest for many feminists where
they have examined and debated upon different constituents of sexuality like
its legal aspect, its intersection with development discourse and sexual
violence, impunity in South Asia.
