Roma and Gypsy Studies

Roma and Gypsy Studies is an academic field that explores the history, culture, language, traditions, and social issues of the Roma people, a diverse group with roots in South Asia who migrated to Europe centuries ago. It examines their rich cultural heritage, challenges such as discrimination and social exclusion, and efforts toward social integration and human rights. The field aims to increase understanding and awareness of Roma communities, promoting respect and inclusion through interdisciplinary research across history, anthropology, linguistics, and sociology.
