Through this conference we aim to bring together practitioners, academics and researchers from across India and internationally to discuss the various facets of HE in India, with a focus on gender, access and choice in HE, HE policy and methodologies to research access to HE.

We welcome abstracts (300 words) from students, faculty and independent researchers interested in gender and higher education access and choice in India by 16 th June 2021. More information on the conference and on submitting abstracts can be found here.

We will also gradually be building a virtual network of academics and practitioners in this field. You are invited to register to attend this online conference here.
