Special series December 2025: Honouring Professor Anita Ghai's Legacy 

This special series is a dedicated space that centres Indian Disability Studies, its epistemology, theory, activism, and social engagement. From the 3rd to the 10th of December, marking the International Day of Persons with Disabilities and a year to Anita鈥檚 departure on 11th December, we invited eight contributors to reflect on Anita Ghai's legacy and work. Through these writings, we hope to create a living archive that celebrates and extends the work of Indian Disability Studies, inspired by Anita Ghai鈥檚 scholarship, activism, and imagination. Each piece will contribute to a collective reflection on what it means to think, write and act critically about disability from Indian contexts. These pieces are part of the online symposium Honouring the Legacy of Professor Anita Ghai on 11th December.
