Constructions of Home and Belonging

Indian Diaspora Centre (CoHaB IDC)

The CoHaB IDC is the second phase of the Diasporic Construction of Home and Belonging (CoHaB) programme at the University of Mumbai. CoHaB was initiated in 2012 as a Multidisciplinary International research programme under the auspices of the European Union’s Marie Curie Innovative Training Networks. Three international researchers have completed their doctoral degrees as CoHaB Early Stage Researchers.

CoHaB IDC functions as a Resource Centre and has initiated the publication of a Diaspora Studies Series.  Its objective is to promote studies on the Indian Diaspora through the organization of lecture series, conferences, workshops and publications. Research scholars from around the world are welcomed to the centre and their projects are facilitated through contacts with scholars, writers and activists in diverse fields of Diaspora Studies.
