A symposium is held on September 24 at Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) to examine “gendered epistemologies” and the role of women in knowledge systems. Organized by the Sarojini Naidu Centre for Women’s Studies with support from the Sahitya Akademi, it brings together more than 140 participants from different sectors.
Participants present papers and discussions focusing on the Indian Knowledge System, with an emphasis on women’s contributions to how knowledge is generated, preserved, and interpreted. The event also addresses how histories can omit or marginalize certain groups, and it emphasizes the need to recognize voices that are underrepresented in historical narratives.
Across the reporting, the emphasis is on the symposium’s theme and academic framing—linking gender, knowledge, and historical inclusion. The accounts describe the same venue, date, organizers, participant turnout, and overall purpose, with no substantive disagreements about the core details of the event.
