Amanjit Kaur Ahuja, Director, Student Services, Krea University and Sayantan Datta, Assistant Professor of Practice at the Centre for Writing & Pedagogy (CWP), Krea University, were invited to speak in a webinar organized by the Symbiosis Centre for Emotional Wellbeing on 18 June 2024. The webinar was titled Making Campuses a Safe and Inclusive Place for All.
Amanjit drew upon her experience as an administrator to speak about the steps that administrators could take to ensure that students from different marginal backgrounds – especially queer, trans and intersex students – are able to inhabit campuses without the fear of discrimination or prejudice. In addition, Sayantan drew upon their lived experience and research documenting queer, transgender and intersex peoples’ experiences in Indian science institutes to talk about challenges that gender- and sexually marginalized students face on campuses. Both of them spoke about the need to work with the system even as they work actively towards systemic changes.
