The limits are explicit: the bibliography currently represents only a fraction of the estimated literature and is meant to improve through collective use and correction.

Dear Scholars

STS research in South Asia has a long history stretching back at least to the early twentieth century. This project exists to make more of that literature visible, searchable, and reusable in one shared route.

The bibliography is hosted on Zotero so readers can search, organize, and download entries according to their own research and teaching needs. Creating a Zotero account will give you the most useful detailed view of the collection.

Project status

Work in progress

The bibliography is ongoing and cannot yet claim complete coverage.

Curation criteria

What belongs in the bibliography.

1

Works that engage with STS theories, concepts, and methods.

2

Works that directly engage South Asian contexts and debates.

Inclusion is based on relevance to STS in South Asia rather than on author origin alone. A scholar is included only when the work is materially relevant to STS in South Asia.

Stewardship notes

Ongoing project

The bibliography is intentionally open-ended and will keep growing through collective use and correction.

Scope discipline

Selection is based on relevance to STS in South Asia rather than on author origin or generic regional coverage.

Public use

The bibliography is meant for literature reviews, syllabi, reading groups, and topic mapping.
