Co-organised by the PSA Politics of South Asia Specialist Group and Aston University’s School of Law and Social Science (LSS)

The conference will explore the changing political landscape of South Asia, focusing on the influence of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, social media, and youth participation on political engagement and democratic processes. It will also examine enduring and emerging challenges relating to militarism, public administration, foreign policy, ethnicity, caste, class, gender, and climate change. Bringing together researchers and scholars working on the region, the conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, encourage critical engagement with contemporary political developments, and advance understanding of the forces shaping South Asia’s political future.

Refreshments and Catering: Coffee and lunch will be provided for participants attending the conference in person at Aston University.
