Call for Papers: Caste and International Relations, 11-12 December, Jaipur, Abstract Submission Deadline- 30 August 2026
Workshop on Caste and International Relations Critical Caste International Studies Network (CCISN) welcomes submissions for an early career workshop on ‘Caste and International Relations’. Following up on the recent special ssue on ‘Caste in International Relations and Diplomacy’ in The Hague Journal of Diplomacy, this workshop serves to continue a critical dialogue on how caste shapes ideas and practices of international relations. Our point of departure is the contention that an absence of sustained engagement with caste has created significant conceptual and empirical gaps in our understanding of world affairs. Accordingly, we are interested in exploring how caste has shaped – and continues to shape – ideas and institutions of international politics.
