Warm greetings everyone!

While referring to gender and the stereotypical constructs that surround it , two arenas encompassing women’s representation, where we as a society have miserably failed is - the treatment of women in minority groups and a severe lack of adequate and even education to women . With a contemporary and fresh narrative , intersectionality as a concept seems to be embraced . However there are significant debates with regards to limited access to pedagogy and uncanny prejudice which surrounds women owing to double discrimination which need to be addressed.

In order to put light on this long forged debate and have a certain enlightenment on the same , the Department of Political science, Kamla Nehru college brings forth a series of international lectures on gender and politics. The forthcoming session will be presented by Dr Aliya Khalid , lecturer in Comparative and International education, Department of education, University of Oxford on the issue- Women's Agency under constrained conditions: Minority groups and Education.
