Social and Political Space in South Asian Cities/Urban History in South Asia

This is a call for panelists and papers to form a panel on Social and Political Space in South Asian Cities at the 44th Annual Conference on South Asia, Madison, Wisconsin, October 22-25, 2015. My paper considers the evolving role of Dhaka University as an autonomous political space in the post-colonial development of Dhaka as a city, including consideration of the contemporary state of the campus.

Papers on topics related to urban history and space in South Asia would fit with the approach of this paper, but the theme of the panel is conceived of broadly and open to submissions with any connection that you feel is present. If you would like to join the panel with a paper or as a discussant, please send an email to christiansen[at]marywood.edu
