| Abstract: | Neera Desai is a pioneer in the field of Women’s Studies and a nationally and internationally known scholar. She set up the first Research Centre for Women’s Studies in SNDT Women’s University, was its first Director, and served in that capacity for many years. Her much-acclaimed research works have been published in Gujarathi and English. She was born in 1925, and at the time of this interview was working on a book based on interviews conducted with more than one hundred feminists in the western region of India on the social construction of feminist ideology. |
| Description: | The 'Global Feminisms Project' is a collaborative international project that examines the history of feminist activism, women's movements and academic women's studies in China, India, Poland, and the United States. We are examining the histories of feminism in local contexts by collecting ten videotaped oral histories of women's movement activists and women's studies scholars in each country. The Project is based in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) at UM, which is also the home for the US site research team. Our international collaborators are: SPARROW, Sound and Picture Archives for Research on Women in Mumbai, India; Fundacja Kobiet eFKa (Women's Foundation eFKa) in Krakow, Poland; China Women's University in Beijing, China; and Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. |
