The proposed roundtable brings together some of the scholars who have contributed chapters in a recently published edited volume titled “Gender, Sexuality, Decolonization: South Asia in the World Perspective” (Routledge Press, December 2020) edited by Professor Ahonaa Roy. This scholarship represents innovative multi-disciplinary approaches to the study of historically contingent, non-heteronormative, and transgressive gender and sexual diversity in South Asia and the South Asian diaspora. The scholarship employs varied theoretical and empirical lenses including decolonization, provincialization and neoliberalism. Significantly, the roundtable includes scholars based in South Asia and elsewhere in the global South in addition to scholars from the United States. As such, the roundtable provides a unique opportunity for conversations that transcend the confines of the academy in the West. The panelists attempt to “decolonize” the study of gender and sexuality as well as ethnographic methodologies, and their work traverses topics such as: the relationship between sexual sovereignty and economic opportunities, notably microcredit business enterprises for women and sexual minorities in Bangladesh (Ahonaa Roy); Sri Lankan men and queer desires, fantasies and sexual experiences that are rendered invisible in western epistemologies of queer sexuality (Themal Ellawala); critical interrogations of the category of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) at the intersections of international, regional and local reconfigurations of gender and sexual politics in the global South (Jose Fernando Serrano-Amaya); and invocations of upper-caste Hindutva politics and self-representations of hijra (indigenous transvestites) in northern India (Arpita Phukan Biswas). The roundtable provides a unique platform for a critical dialogue on gender and sexuality that emphasizes colonial and post-colonial histories, and sexual epistemologies and experiences in the global South and particularly in South Asia. The roundtable engages with analyses of the myriad historical, material and political contexts that shape gendered selfhoods in South Asia and beyond. Finally, the roundtable seeks to illuminate the variously gendering and political imagery, and negotiations of indeterminacy arguing for a decolonization of gender and sexuality, and spurring further debate around postcoloniality, cultural and political representations, citizenship, and gendered empowerment.
