[INDOLOGY] Gender, Power, and Rape when Conducting Research

[Audrey Truschke]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to share this insightful, brave piece written by a PhD student
at Columbia University about her experience pursuing a rape charge against
Mahmood Farooqui in the Indian judicial system. I think it is relevant for
Indologists, especially for sending students to conduct research abroad,
dealing with our own instances of sexual misconduct in the field, and
thinking about gender and power dynamics.
