During the 2019-20 academic year, South Asia Center faculty published dozens of scholarly articles and book chapters on international and South Asian topics.
Note: this snapshot of publications, covering articles published in peer-reviewed journals and books between roughly summer 2019 and spring 2020, is by no means intended to be exhaustive. Our faculty regularly publish op-eds, columns, reviews, interviews, and other outputs – as well as scholarly publications on non-South Asian topics – which may not be reflected here.
