Non-Resident Visiting Scholars & Fellows [1]
[2]CASI is fortunate to have these 18 distinguished researchers serve as Non-Resident Visiting Scholars & Fellows [2] for the 2020-21 academic year. In keeping with CASI’s commitment to supporting research on contemporary India across the social sciences, these scholars hail from a variety of disciplines, including history, anthropology, economics, and political science. Their work showcases research excellence across a wide range of methodological orientations and subject areas. From the workings of agricultural markets to the unfolding of India’s urban transition, from the nature of environmental transformations to the politics of national security, these innovative scholars will continue to shape our understanding of many of India’s most pressing concerns. We are delighted to have them enrich our Center. More will join us in the spring of 2021!
