Honouring Professor Anita Ghai's Legacy
This special series is a dedicated space that centres Indian Disability Studies, its epistemology, theory, activism, and social engagement. From the 3rd to the 10th of December, marking the International Day of Persons with Disabilities and a year to Anita’s departure on 11 December, we invited eight contributors to reflect on Anita Ghai's legacy and work. Through these writings, we hope to create a living archive that celebrates and extends the work of Indian Disability Studies, inspired by Anita Ghai’s scholarship, activism, and imagination. Each piece will contribute to a collective reflection on what it means to think, write and act critically about disability from Indian contexts.

How we understand being ‘human’ differs between disciplines and has changed radically over time. We are living in an age marked by rapid growth in knowledge about the human body and brain, and new technologies with the potential to change them.
