Minds of Caste

- An inter-disciplinary seminar on how Caste identities shape the Mind

5.30-8 pm, Friday, 4th September 2015, (followed by a drinks reception)

Venue: Christopher Ingold XLG2 Auditorium, Department of Chemistry, University College London, 20 Gordon Street, London, WC1H 0AJ

A seminar convened by Sushrut Jadhav, UCL Psychiatry.  This event forms part of the UCL Cultural Consultation Service Grand Rounds.

This discussion is linked with a one day conference on caste that will take place on 5th September at SOAS

The relationship between caste identity and mental well-being is critical and yet curiously unexplored. Unpacking culturally rooted caste conflict requires addressing the dynamics between victims and victimisers.

This unique inter-disciplinary seminar will address some of the following questions: How does caste shape individual minds and determine collective mentalities? Why and how does caste discrimination impact upon the inner lives of both the perpetrators and their victims? Is caste practice normative or a pathological denial and threat to hierarchy and status? What might be the cultural and psychological pathologies of the perpetrators of casteism? What is the nature of the stigma and disclosure of caste identity? How is caste identity psychologically managed both individually and collectively? How is caste merit constructed and perpetuated? Is caste essential to Indian cultural identity? Does conversion help? To what extent do casteism and racism overlap or differ in their psychological antecedents and consequences? Can anti-racist interventions in the clinic (what is generally known as inter-cultural therapy) be applicable to the Indian context? For whom?
