Two members of the HaP research team, Monica Mottin and Stefanie Lotter, co-convened a panel at the EASA (European Association of Social Anthropologists) Belfast 2022 Conference. Their panel, titled Alter-heritage: Imagining South Asian heritage from the margins, aimed to explore forms of erasure of subaltern heritage and whether/how solidarities and commoning may facilitate the repositioning of heritage to question dominant historiography. The panel saw six papers presented from Katja Mueller, Katja Mielke and Helena Cermeño, Cameron Warner, Sasi Kumar, Shobhit Shakya, Ulrik Hoj Johnson. Dr. Lotter and Dr. Mottin now plan on producing an edited special journal issue with the topic of alterity in focus.
