Navigating cultural intimacies: Long-lasting friendships in the Scottish South Asian diasporas
In research on the UK’s South Asian communities, the family has generally been taken to be a ‘self-fulfilling’ unit and the existence of friendships within and across these communities remains empirically unexplored and conceptually under-theorised. This is even more so the case for friendships among older South Asians. This article therefore explores the workings of decades-long friendships of the Scottish South Asian diasporas, particularly tho…
Mid- and Later Life Cross-Sex Friendships in Minority Ethnic Contexts: Insights From Scotland

It queries the ‘acceptance’ of women sought beyond traditional boundaries of caste in a context where caste endogamy is the norm and breaches are otherwise not tolerated. It argues that while the caste of the…
