About the Journal

A pioneer in the geographic region, the journal’s concerns spread well beyond the boundaries of citizenship, nation and the state. In the last year it has initiated a new section on important resources, including those from the Web.

Never exclusionist in its focus or work, the Centre has moved towards a clearer understanding of gender relations within the overall socio-political system. It is, thus only appropriate that the IJGS should help consolidate the Centre’s role as a pioneer in gender-oriented social science research and action.

A tri-annual since 2003, the second and third issues of 2005 (11:2&3) were clubbed together to form a special issue on Marriage and Migration in Asia, guest edited jointly by Professor Patricia Uberoi and Dr Rajni Palriwala. It had 11 articles including marriage migration in China, gender relations and generational change among Malayali migrants in Italy; cross-border marriages in Taiwan, the sale of Bangladeshi girls as wives in north India; gender, risk and adjustment among Pakistani marriage migrants to Britain, and domestic violence and the Indian diaspora in the United States.

The forthcoming issues of IJGS will carry two special sections: one on Africa, and women’s participation in the communities and economies of African countries like Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon; and another devoted to an analysis of the decade that followed the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo in 1994, with articles on the issues of population policies, and the issues of women’s reproductive and sexual rights written by researchers from India, Latin America, and the USA.
