Upcoming Online Symposium
November 2026

Post-Indenture Feminisms: Mapping Consciousness,Challenge, and Change
Eds. Gabrielle Hosein and Lisa Outar

How has the history of Indian indentureship shaped feminist organizing across the world? Has it led to distinctive experiences, strategies, and challenges in sites of indenture as well as informed cross-ethnic, international, transoceanic, and diasporic feminist movements? Can post-indenture feminisms shed light on the legacies of indenture in contemporary praxes of solidarity?

Submissions can be in the form of scholarship, non-scholarly reflective essays, interviews, short fiction, poems, photography and painting, and photo essays. We welcome scholarly essays and interviews of 7000 words (including references); fiction, nonfiction, photo essays and creative reflections of 2000 to 5000 words; and submissions of poetry which include 2 to 3 poems.
