Romani Studies

Romani Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the history, culture, languages, and social issues of the Romani people, also known as Roma or Gypsies. Originating in South Asia, the Romani have a diverse, rich culture shaped by their experiences in Europe and beyond, often marked by marginalization and discrimination. Scholars in Romani Studies analyze aspects such as their traditional music, art, diaspora experiences, and human rights challenges. The field aims to enhance understanding, promote awareness, and advocate for the rights and recognition of Romani communities.
