The sense of academic merit: Dalit students at South Asian Universities
South Asian universities – as is the case with universities all around Asia and beyond – are characterized by an increasing heterogeneity of students on the one hand, and by disparities in resources shaping the pathways to and pathways through academia, on the other. Students’ experiences in India and Nepal are significantly molded by caste, class, gender, race, ethnicity, and other differentiating markers that are decisive for their sense of (no…
Performing Educational Desires: Mobilities and Relating in Migrant Students’ Educational Trajectories
This article discusses the educational aspirations of students of “migrant background” at a German university.

Universities As Transformative Social Spaces: Mobilities and Mobilizations from South Asian Perspectives

This new development has received increasing attention among practitioners and policy makers, while social science research only recently turned to Asia-to-Asia students' international flows. This contribution offers, first, a literature review, reflecting on trends and the magni…

Das soziale Leben der Universität: Studentischer Alltag zwischen Selbstfindung und Fremdbestimmung
Universitäten sind in den letzten Jahren ins Zentrum des öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Interesses gerückt. Dieser Band bringt neue Perspektiven ein - indem er die Protagonisten selbst sprechen lässt: Sie thematisieren die Universität einerseits als Ort der Krise, Fremdbestimmung, Desintegration, sozialer Spannungen und Exklusion. Soziale Grenzziehungen und Ungleichheitsrelationen prägen die persönliche Navigation im universitären Raum nachh…
Spaces of Violence in South Asian Democracies
This introduction discusses the emergence and consolidation of spaces of violence in South Asia’s democracies from both historical and conceptual perspectives. By revealing the varied experiences and experiments across the subcontinent, it invokes a perspective on democracy and democratic governance that refrains from following the assumptions of most of the democracy research to date, which frames such debates in predominantly normative terms. I…

No end to Nepal's Maoist rebellion
Since 1996, Nepal has increasingly been drawn into a violent conflict between Maoist rebels and the state, leading to a severe crisis. Thousands of civilians have been killed, and most people in the countryside live in constant fear. Economic hardship has seriously increased. Despite repeated efforts to bring the parties together for peace talks, there is little hope that the violent situation will be resolved in the near future. This article ana…
Migration et flexibilité: La recherche de solutions aux revendications des minorités religieuses en Suisse
En observant certaines prescriptions rituelles, les membres des minorités religieuses attirent l'attention dans leur « pays d'accueil ». En Europe, souvent confrontés à de l'incompréhension, de la méfiance ou de la curiosité, beaucoup de non-chrétiens cherchent comment obtenir une liberté d'expression religieuse. De plus en plus, les minorités religieuses font appel aux tribunaux pour réclamer des droits spéciaux. À partir d'exemples zurichois re…
