About Anveshi

Anveshi Research Centre for Women’s Studies is an organisation that is committed to research, critical reflection and activism that meets the demands of our historical moment. Extending our legacy of feminist theory and intervention, we are invested in exploring new ways of understanding contemporary issues in gender, sexuality, and marginalization in relation to Dalits, Muslims and sexual minorities. 

We conduct research in health and healthcare systems, political histories of the Deccan, and urban migration. We intervene in critical public and academic debates on education, social movements, welfare, violence and healthcare. Anveshi works at an interdisciplinary location drawing scholars and activists from many fields. The Centre is located in Hyderabad, India.
