Flagship Programmes
What we organise
01
Issues in Society, History & Queerness
ISHQ
The Centre’s flagship lecture series has hosted scholars, thinkers, and activists from wide-ranging disciplines. During the Summer of ISHQ series, we featured Judith Butler, Jack Halberstam, Lee Edelman, Geeta Patel, and Jyoti Puri, among many others.
02
Art · Desire · Activism
ADA
A programme series bringing together artists, activists, and academics to explore the deep entanglements of art-making, desire, and political life. ADA commissions works and hosts performances that challenge conventional framings of gender and sexuality.
03
Theory & Practice
TAP
TAP bridges the gap between academic scholarship and on-the-ground activism. The programme creates space for practitioners and theorists to collaborate, learn, and build shared frameworks for action in gender justice and social change.
04
Community & Dialogue
Reading Circles & Feminist Baithaks
Regular intimate gatherings that bring together students, scholars, and community members to read, discuss, and debate. These spaces prioritise plurality of voices, informal exchange, and the joy of collective thinking.
