Care, Gender, and Changing Intergenerational Relations in Urban Asia

This symposium invites scholars working on care, gender and intergenerational relations in the contexts of East and South Asia. The purpose of the symposium is to bring such scholarship into dialogue, to further knowledge around how care is a key site through which intergenerational contracts, patriarchal authority, and gendered inequalities are being reworked under shifting institutional and structural conditions across the region.

Format: One full-day symposium hosted in the Pavilion Room at St Antony’s College, University of Oxford. Each sessions will include individual presentations (15-20 min) followed by a joint discussion. The last activity of the day will be a discussion about main takeaways and future directions and activities.
