Indian academics ‘must choose caste or intellectual identity’
Mitchell Institute Associate Fellow and Reader in Social Sciences at Queen's, Dr Dina Zoe Belluigi, was interviewed in relation to her recent study on academic staff inequalities in higher education in India for Times Higher Education.
The article relates to the current project ‘Transformation towards sustainability in higher education: Interactional dynamics in gender and intersectionality’, with Dr Dhawan, Jadavpur University and Dr Idahosa, University of Johannesburg, which looks at the participation dynamics of academic staff in universities in India and South Africa, and asks how these reflect on the fitness-for-purpose of such institutions in driving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as supposed just, inclusive institutions.
