Centre of Global South Asian Studies

The Centre of Global South Asian Studies, Dept. for Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, is a trans-disciplinary research centre that facilitates research and teaching on India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka at the University of Copenhagen. The Centre does not confine itself to the study of the region, rather explores the historical and contemporary connections within the Global South that underpin the modern formations of society, culture and politics within South Asia and its diaspora.

Research Network

The Centre is located in an international scholarly network that brings together partners through research programmes from University of Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University, University of Oxford, New York University, Columbia University, CERI-Sciences Po, Paris, Århus University and Danish Institute of International Studies.
