After The Storm

After the Storm 2020-21 is the Department of Inter-Religious Studies’ (DIRS) first-ever student Research Journal. The first edition is an attempt to curate discourses on the aftermath of altering events. The theme After the Storm looks to impel researchers towards deliberating solutions and trajectories against the backdrop of events that have expressed the need for a change. We call these altering events Storms. These storms have either brought about a significant change or expressed the need for a change by questioning the status quo and pronouncing the extant faultlines of our institutions.

Subsequently, the journal brings to you a motley of research paradigms with a wide purview of focusses. Our papers and articles range from addressing menstrual stigma and communal violence to religion and food, from the mental stigma associated with COVID-19 to overcoming life’s challenges through playfulness. Brimming with a vibrant mix of research questions, this journal is a testament of our student-writers’ quest to ameliorate our understanding of our interactions. We invite you all to take a look at these ideas.
