Description
Summary:The main aim of this Symposium is to bring out the significance of qualitative research in the field of public health in India. The diverse articles are thematically interconnected and jointly provide socio-historical perspectives of different health concerns prevalent in colonial and postcolonial India. These are located at the crucial intersections between gender, sexuality, and health. While pointing towards the need for more qualitative research, this Symposium is a step towards creating new pathways and broadening the scope of public health research in India.
