OPEN CALL FOR SCHOLARS AND RESEARCHERS

DAG seeks doctoral and postdoctoral scholars, and experienced researchers to contribute to an upcoming project and volume on Indian modern art.

The project aims to generate new scholarship on South Asian art by bringing together diverse practices and approaches. We particularly welcome ideas that will expand existing narratives of modern Indian art and explore new critical directions, including interdisciplinary perspectives from history, literature, cultural studies and related fields.

By bringing together scholars from different academic and geographic contexts, the project aims to foster dialogue across disciplines and contribute meaningfully to the evolving field of South Asian art history.

Possible areas of enquiry include, but are not limited to:

• Intersections of art with politics, literature, cinema and intellectual history

• Regional modernisms and alternative art histories

• Transnational networks and global exchanges in South Asian art

• Patronage, collections and exhibition histories

• Archival research and new methodological approaches to art history

Eligibility

• PhD candidates

• Postdoctoral scholars

• Independent researchers and scholars

How to apply

Interested candidates may share a sample of their published or unpublished writing (2500-5000 words) along with their CV to info@dagworld.com

Submission deadline: 15th April 2026

Selected contributors will be contacted via email with further details regarding the project.
