"Women and the Sikh Diaspora: Music and Mobility Across the Seven Seas" Dr Nicole Ranganath in conversation with Dr Priya Atwal
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Prof. Nicole Ranganath as she discusses her acclaimed new book, Women and the Sikh Diaspora: Music and Mobility Across the Seven Seas, with Dr Priya Atwal on Friday, 13th June at Flora Anderson Hall, Somerville College, University of Oxford. This event is hosted by the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development (OICSD) in collaboration with Migration Oxford.

Prof. Ranganath’s book uncovers the untold stories of Sikh women whose musical traditions have shaped diasporic identities across continents. Through the lens of music, migration, and memory, the discussion will offer unique insights into gender, heritage, and cultural resilience.

This event is free and open to all—highly recommended for those interested in history, diaspora, gender studies, and South Asian cultures.
