Himika Chattacharya on Love is love, how can it be divided?: Women narrating joint/marriage, caste, and tribe in Lahaul, India

Himika Bhattacharya, Assistant Professor, Department of Women's and Gender Studies, Syracuse University

In this talk, Bhattacharya will trace the marriage practice of “joint” in Lahaul, India. By juxtaposing oral histories of women in joint marriages with interviews conducted with government officers in the region, she will discuss the ways in which official discourses on marriage, love and sexuality serve as proxy for caste.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
