In today’s episode, host Helen Martin is talking to Lovepreet Kaur who is joining us from Ludhiana in Punjab, India. They discuss Lovepreet's research on the comparison of human rights between India and Canada and Lovepreet’s current position as the 2021-2022 Visiting Scholar at the School of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at York. Lovepreet discusses her experience at York's Centre for Feminist Research and the support they've provided to her, the pandemic's effect on her work, and her advice for sexuality scholars.
