This conference seeks to understand the challenges thrown up on the background of increasing social diversities , for those who are on the margins on local, national or transnational level.
In most locales and contexts, increasing diversity has become a feature of the societies, with the ongoing changes on a global level. When the world is moving towards a claimed more equal and just system, the structures that are being evolved in the process to redistribute the access equally may become closed to some groups which are a part of the diversity but remain on the margins.
The papers are invited related to following themes:
o Diversity, margins and exclusion: Definitional issues
o Historicity, diversity & margins: Identity and exclusion.
o Cultural practices: Changing institutions and excluded groups
o Interrogating state policies & programs: Education, health
o Diaspora ethnicity and diversity
o Gender, violence & exclusion
o Media and perception of issues of margins.
