Please join the School of Humanities, University of Bristol, in celebrating Professor Sumita Mukherjee's inaugural lecture.
In her lecture, Histories of South Asian Migration and the Search for Belonging, Professor Sumita Mukherjee asks: Where does the history of South Asian migration belong? How has the nineteenth and twentieth century movement of people from the Indian subcontinent influenced social and political change around the world? Offering wide-ranging discussion on how mobile South Asians have shaped ideas of gender, race and empire, Professor Mukherjee will engage with personal, political and historical reflections to showcase the ongoing importance and vibrancy of histories relating to ‘South Asians on the move’.
The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception, from 3:00 to 4:30 pm, providing an opportunity to celebrate the occasion and meet with colleagues and guests.
For those unable to join in person, the lecture will be livestreamed via MS Teams (link via Eventbrite ticket confirmation).
