A new book on South Asian Feminisms in Diaspora had its genesis over several years of conversations and community.  

Co-editor and University of Windsor professor of Interdisciplinary and Critical Studies and Sociology Dr. Jane Ku explains its roots in a roundtable as part of the Canadian Sociological Association annual meeting. 

Ku explains that the turnout was enthusiastic.  

“It encouraged us to say, ‘okay, what do we do next?’”
