About
South Asia: Women in the Field is a multidisciplinary network based out of the University of Cambridge. We created this network in the hope that we could bring together women from different disciplines but with shared experiences in conducting fieldwork (or attempting to) in South Asia. We wish to discuss the major issues but also to see whether we can reach some resolutions while creating a supportive network of interdisciplinary researchers supporting women, ALL WOMEN, in the field.
