Journal of Peasant Studies - Agrarian Conversations

Over the last 14 years, JPS has become a vibrant intellectual community as well as a journal. Affiliated initiatives – including the Initiatives in Critical Agrarian Studies (ICAS), the Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiatives (ERPI), the Land Deal Politics Initiatives (LDPI) and the BRICS Initiative for Critical Agrarian Studies (BICAS) – have generated research, debate and analysis far beyond the pages of JPS. JPS too has branched out beyond the printed page, sponsoring writeshops, conferences, and webinars that bring together scholars and agrarian activists to debate pressing issues in rural politics.

Agrarian Conversations is an attempt to create an online hub for conversations among scholars and activists, to highlight much more than a traditional academic journal. It features video interviews and abstracts, blogs from JPS authors on their work, public talks, podcasts, and the Agrarian Conversations webinar series.
