As part of the 6^th edition of the Social Sciences Winter School 2022 organized at Pondicherry University, India from November 28, 2022 to December 2, 2022 which focused on the central theme ‘Rethinking Inequalities’, young researchers discussed, deliberated and presented how inequalities in different forms affect citizens in various domains of their life. Amidst spaces of everyday inequalities and the quest for emancipation, a group of young researchers working on diverse themes worked together to deliberate on issues covering identities, inequalities, access and mobility. One group of researchers engaged with the research method of capturing and narrating life stories and lived experiences to tell stories of individuals/communities that offered accounts of vulnerability, agency and resistance.
