Cartographies of Caste

What happens when a deeply entrenched system of social hierarchy crosses borders?

Caste is a form of inherited social ranking that shapes people's opportunities, relationships, and sense of belonging. While often associated with South Asia, caste does not disappear with migration—it travels with communities and is reshaped in diaspora.

Join Dr Sasha Sabherwal in an exploration of how caste operates today within Punjabi Sikh communities across the US and Canada, and how artists, organisers, and everyday people are working towards caste abolition.
