SUMMARY:Social Justice and Dalits in South Asia
DESCRIPTION:Across the globe\, an estimated 260 million people are relegated to a lifetime of segregation\, exploitation\, and extreme forms of physical and psychological abuse\, all because of the caste into which they are born. In much of South Asia\, caste-based divisions dominate in housing\, marriage\, and general social interaction—divisions that are often reinforced through the threat of social ostracism\, economic boycotts\, and even physical violence. The effective eradication of caste-based discrimination remains a major human rights challenge of our time.Please join us on Tuesday\, October 7th for a roundtable discussion about social justice in South Asia and the world. \n\n\n\nLearn about the social and political obstacles faced by Dalit communities (formerly known as “untouchables”) in Nepal and IndiaEngage with scholars\, media producers and activists who have brought awareness to issues concerning Dalits through traditional and social media outletsDevelop tips and tools you can use for your own research and social activism initiatives\n\n\n\nSome of the questions this event hopes to explore include: \n\n\n\nWhat skills/lessons can Dalit and American students\, scholars and activists learn from each other? \n\n\n\nHow do experiences of marginalization and /or oppression compare in different countries? \n\n\n\nHow have social justice organizations use the law\, media and education as tools to raise awareness and create change? \n\n\n\nProminent academics\, media producers and social activists will participate in a roundtable discussion.
