The GEC Researcher’s corner is a space where we showcase the research undertaken by early career BASAS scholars. Each month we post a brief introduction to a scholar’s research, ideas and publications, with the aim of generating awareness of what kind of research the next generation of South Asianists are engaged with. We also hope that GEC scholars will be able to connect with each other and find potential research partners.
Could you be our next GEC researcher of the month? Apply for your profile to be featured in our Researcher’s Corner using our online application form. Please note you will need to join BASAS in order for your profile to be featured.
