Gendered Exclusion
Women and Forced Migration in Eastern India
Research program: Mobility and Exclusion
The project examines women's experiences of cross-border force migration
from Bangladesh and internal displacement in Eastern India. It aims to evaluate the contemporary
applicability of the concept of “refugee” in postcolonial contexts and explores its
gendered significance. Building on earlier comparative research on minority women and with a different
method of inquiry, it will contribute to an emerging debate on the difficulties of distinguishing
economic and political refugees. This project is funded by a URC 2004 Small Grant.
