On January 9, 2021, the Poetic Justice Foundation will facilitate a contextually relevant and timely dialogue, bringing together an esteemed panel of South Asian scholars. This gathering is a part of our ongoing commitment to challenge structures of oppression and discrimination, including the nuanced dynamics within communities. Through the lens of anti-racism, anti-oppression, and anti-casteism, our panelists delve into their personal journeys, shedding light on the pervasive influences of patriarchy within Sikhi and its broader community, the panth.

The roundtable discussion aims to serve as a crucial platform for examining and understanding how entrenched patriarchal systems can be reimagined and reshaped by the power, wisdom, and experiences of Sikh women.

Our goal is to educate, organize, and mobilize individuals to advocate for justice and equality, and this discussion was a significant step towards understanding the intersections of gender, religion, and identity. It highlights the importance of listening to and elevating voices that have historically been marginalized, thus contributing to our collective effort to build a more equitable society.

Panelists:
  • Asha Marie Kaur Sawhney, Research Assistant at Sikh Research Institute (SikhRI)
  • Dr. Kamal Arora
  • Manvinder Kaur Gill, Research Associate, Regitered Social Worker (MSW, RSW)
