The second seminar of the FAS Young Scholars’ Online Seminar Series, July-November 2026, will be presented by Anjana Kesav, PhD Scholar, Centre for Development Studies, Thiruvananthapuram, on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at 4 PM IST.
Anjana’s study aims to examine agrarian differentiation by looking at differences in households’ vulnerability to future economic stress. It explores how households within the agrarian structure differ in their ability to sustain reproduction, and examines how land relations, market dependence, and the relationship between capital and labour shape these differences.
The study estimates households’ vulnerability to future consumption shortfalls and economic stress using cross-sectional data from the Situation Assessment Survey (SAS) 2018–19.
The discussant for this session is Soham Bhattacharya, Assistant Professor, Department of Public Administration, Presidency University, Kolkata.
The series is chaired by Barbara Harriss-White, Emeritus Professor of Development Studies, the University of Oxford.
