Bhogal, B., & Dhillon, S. (2024). ‘The Home Beyond Home’: Dr. Balbinder S. Bhogal in conversation with Dr. Sunny Dhillon. Sikh Research Journal, 8(2), 30–55. https://doi.org/10.62307/srj.v8i2.7

Abstract

This piece is a lightly edited transcript of an interview with Dr. Bhogal conducted by Sunny in late 2022 in Nottingham, UK. Key themes that emerge concern the untranslatable aspects of ‘religion’ (Derrida, 2002), finding a spiritual home, negotiating the dialectic between bodily wisdom and linguistic expression, as well as how to possibly lead a life of integrity in the face of myriad challenges.
