Welcome to saraswatisuna.com.
I’m Dr. Saraswati Suna (Swati), a sociologist whose research examines how educational institutions reproduce social stratification and shape unequal life chances. Working at the intersection of the sociology of education, caste, gender, and institutional inequality, my research is grounded in ethnography and informed by a Dalit feminist standpoint. I am particularly interested in understanding how institutions organise opportunity, recognition, and exclusion despite formal commitments to equality and inclusion.
I created this website to share my research and public writing with a wider audience. Here, you’ll find essays, research reflections, publications, and commentary on caste, education, gender, and contemporary social issues. I hope this website serves as a space for dialogue among researchers, students, educators, activists, and anyone interested in building a more just and equal society.
