About NRS
Knowledge should not be a cloistered virtue.
It must live in the world, be shaped by it, and in turn shape it for the better.
01 — Principle
Research with Sociality.
We reject rigid disciplinary boundaries in favor of a fluid, anti disciplinary approach.
Collaborative. Problem focused. Open to diverse ways of knowing.
02 — Structure
Non hierarchical by design.
A network of peers where ideas are valued in themselves.
Not for their institutional origin. No ranks. No gatekeepers.
03 — Purpose
Accessible.
Publicly engaged.
We are committed to creating knowledge that is accessible, publicly engaged, and oriented towards social justice.
04 — Roots
Founded at JNU. Beyond it.
Founded by researchers from Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Our foundation in JNU’s sociological tradition informs our critique of its limits and our vision for a more open, forward-looking research practice.
05 — People
We are just stories.
“When the day ends and all is said and done, we are just stories.”
