Hi, I’m Sukhraj Singh from Sikh Archive and welcome to the twelfth episode in our Podcast series of conversations with historians, authors, academics, journalists and activists on topics related to their areas of expertise on Sikh or Panjabi history.
In this episode we are joined by Satwinder Kaur Bains who is a professor at the University of Fraser Valley in Social Cultural Media Studies. Her current research interests include migration, settlement, and integration; cross-cultural education and curriculum implementation; race, racism, and ethnicity; identity politics; South Asian Canadian Diaspora studies and Punjabi cultural historiographies.
We discuss today her latest article, titled “Interrogating Gender in Sikh Tradition and Practice” where we explore the meaning of Sikh feminism as well as trying to understand how ideas of representation and identity find expression in response to our understanding and practice of our faith and our institutions as well as in our everyday Sikh symbols.
