Explore South Asia through the politics of language in this introductory course. Whether you are curious about the region, have been greeted with a ‘namaste’ at your local yoga class, or grew up around South Asian languages, this course invites you to bring your curiosity and questions. We will put these in conversation with essays, poetry and academic texts by South Asian and diasporic authors to study language’s links to postcolonial literature, history and identity.
