Presentation
Julien Levesque is a lecturer in the Indian Studies department at the Institute of Asian and Oriental Studies, University of Zürich. Previously, he was Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science at Ashoka University (2021-22). Between 2017 and 2021, he was Head Researcher of the Politics and Society division at the Centre de Sciences Humaines, New Delhi. He holds a PhD (2016) in Political Science from the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS), and is also affiliated with the Centre for South Asian and Himalayan Studies (CESAH), EHESS, Paris.
Julien Levesque’s research interests concern the political sociology of South Asian Muslim societies, with a particular focus on identity-based movements. His first monograph, published in 2022 by the Presses universitaires de Rennes (in French), looks into nationalism and identity construction in Sindh after Pakistan’s independence. His ongoing work examines how caste politics among Muslims in North India (Delhi, UP, Bihar) and Pakistan (Sindh) affect dynamics of community formation and political representation. He has co-edited a special section of Contemporary South Asia on “Caste politics, minority representation, and social mobility: the associational life of Muslim caste in India” (2023) and a special issue of the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society on “Historicizing Sayyid-ness: Social Status and Muslim Identity in South Asia” (2020).
