About
Introduction
The Centre for South Asian Studies is the hub for scholarship in and on South Asia at the University of Edinburgh. Our research and teaching span a wide range of issues such as health, animals, 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, environment and energy.
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, Art, Engineering, Social Work, Geosciences, History, Languages and Cultures, Law, Politics and International Relations, Religious Studies, Sociology, Veterinary Studies, and Medicine. We also host honorary fellows, associated scholars, and visiting scholars from outside the University. CSAS runs a PhD programme in South Asian Studies and also supports doctoral research in different units across the University.
