The Truth Project: The Truth About Castes
Date & Time: September 11, 2018 | 11:00 PM – 11:00 PM
Location: Foster Auditorium
Professor Divya Dwivedi of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, asks if casteism is racism. She will challenge attempts by governments and academics to separate caste as it is still practiced today in South Asia from the broader contest of what elsewhere tends to be described in terms of race, ethnicity, and Volk. The talk is sponsored by the Penn State Humanities Institute and will take place on Tuesday, September 11, at 4:00 p.m. in Foster Auditorium, Paterno Library.
