POSTGRADUATE WORKSHOP with Prof. Gyanendra Pandey (Emory University, Atlanta, US)

Dear Postgraduate Students,

The Indian Ocean and South Asia Research Network invites you to participate in a workshop with Prof. Gyanendra Pandey, Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of History, South Asian and postcolonial history; violence, citizenship and marginality; memory and history.

DATE: Thursday, 26th November
TIME: 10.30 am - 12.30 pm
WHERE: UTS Bldg. 3, Level 4, Room 4.02

Gyanendra Pandey, Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of History (D.Phil., University of Oxford, 1975), South Asian and postcolonial history; violence, citizenship and marginality; memory and history. He is the author of Routine Violence: Nations, Fragments, Histories (2006); The Construction of Communalism in Colonial North India (rev. ed. 2006); The Ascendancy of the Congress in Uttar Pradesh: Class, Community and Nation in Northern India, 1920-1940 (rev. ed. 2002); Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India (2001); and numerous other single authored and collaborative works and articles. The Gyanendra Pandey Omnibus, consisting of three of his books, has been published by Oxford University Press in 2008; and a major edited anthology, Subaltern Citizens and their Histories: Investigations from India and the USA, is to be published by Routledge in summer 2009. He is now working towards two books: a history of subaltern middle class groups, tentatively entitled Genealogies of Prejudice: Notes on the African American and Dalit middle classes; and a study of the autobiographical writings of Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker and Viola Andrews.

Over the last three years, he has also been working to develop a dialogue between historians and social scientists working on the North and the South. Two international, interdisciplinary workshops on the theme of ‘Subaltern Citizens and their Histories: Investigations from India and the USA’, held at Emory in October 2006 and December 2007, a specially edited guest issue of the postcolonial studies journal, Interventions, that was published in November 2008, and the Routledge anthology mentioned above, are among the first results of this effort.

Gyanendra Pandey was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford (1970-73). He is a founding member of the Subaltern Studies project, and editor of the new Routledge book series, Intersections: Colonial and Postcolonial Histories. Before coming to Emory he taught at the University of Delhi and at Johns Hopkins.
