Research and Creative Works on Colonialism in South Asia

Colonialism has left a visible mark across the globe. As countries and peoples attempt to decolonize it is quite evident that, beyond the visible and obvious effects of colonialism, there remain many hidden, insidious, and deep-rooted effects in the culture and even the psyche of colonized people.

Under the auspices of the Bhise Global Understanding Project, this panel will examine the conditions and consequences of colonialism from each faculty member’s own research and disciplinary perspective.

Each panelist received a 2023-24 Bhisé Global Understanding Project Research Grant to further their research on the impact of colonialism in their chosen area of research.

A complimentary breakfast will be served at 10:00 a.m. so you can meet your fellow attendees and hear from this year’s grant recipients.

This event is part of the Scholarship and Creative Works Conference schedule.
