Dr. Dawa Lokyitsang is a Tibetan-American anthropologist who studies how Tibetans refuse Chinese state policies in Tibet aimed at erasing their identity, while also building futures in exile. Her research on Tibetan schools in India shows how these institutions, through raising generations of children with a distinctly Tibetan education in Tibetan-constructed environments, actively produce Tibetan worlds—helping communities preserve their identity in foreign lands, strengthen collective life, and foster mutuality grounded in shared loss and shared aspirations for a free and self-determined Tibetan future. She also highlights how care, kinship, and educational practices can be powerful practices for revitalizing anticolonial worlds.
