Human Rights Summer Fellow Conducts Research on India's 181 Help Line for Women
With co-sponsorship by the WSD Handa Center for Human Rights & International Justice and Center for South Asia, Stanford student Japsimran Kaur, ’18, spent her summer working with a team of Stanford researchers in Gujarat, India. Stanford Global Studies colleagues Sangeeta Mediratta, Associate Director, Center for South Asia, and Meredith Miller Vostrejs, Program Manager, WSD Handa Center for Human Rights & International Justice, sat down for a Q&A with Japsimran to reflect on her summer experience.
Our discussion addressed cultural humility, global competency, the value of international service, and the joys of being welcomed into peoples’ homes and being sung to her by her Indian research colleagues.
