Widowhood and Women
During the medieval period of Indian history—specifically the 15th and 16th centuries—the social and cultural status of women was highly complex and fraught with contradictions; within this context, the plight of widows was particularly pitiable and filled with suffering.

While works have been undertaken on patronage in history, any specific endeavour to streamline the role of women patrons in their true spirit remains a desideratum. It is imperative to address such erasures of women’s presence in the history of patronage. This article …

Entertaining the Royalty. A forgotten tradition of the Vidushaka in Ancient Indian History
This paper provides an overview of the importance of dwarf figures/jesters in Ancient Indian history and society. There are numerous dwarf-like figures depicted in ancient Indian temples. These little figurines would have not only filled the area and add decorative value but also, they have a small but significant place in iconography. A dwarf-like figure, the Vidushaka, who was a brahmin with a tuft on his head and a staff in his hand, was found…

To Write in Unwellness
In this collectively written essay, we write as volunteers with A/P/A Voices: A COVID-19 Public Memory Project to share and hold space for this archive's stories, images, sounds, and silences.

Time Theft in the Los Angeles Retail Sector
We argue that employers subject workers to time theft by controlling workers’ time—both on and off the clock. Time theft considers employer control of workers’ time without the promise of pay through unstable scheduling practices as well as beyond their scheduled work hours. We develop a typology of time theft through a discussion of survey and workshop data with retail workers in Los Angeles. We underscore how federal labor law is inadequate to …
