The Centre of Global South Asian Studies is a trans-disciplinary research centre facilitating research and teaching on South Asia at the University of Copenhagen.

The Centre does not confine itself to the study of the region, rather explores the historical and contemporary connections within the Global South that underpin the modern formations of society, culture and politics within South Asia and its diaspora.

CGSAS is located at the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies (TORS) at the University of Copenhagen. It draws researchers from across the faculties of humanities and social sciences. The centre is currently engaged in a research programme on ‘New India' funded by the Danish Council for Social Sciences Research (2010-2013).
