Detail of the image on the cover of the volume. It is a sculpture of a figure crouching with their back to another figure, itself back-to-back with eleven other figures descending in height. The final of these rests against the fingers of a hand and all the figures, except the first, rest on the arm and hand, almost like a harp.

A reminder of tomorrow's hybrid workshop on 'The Colonial Veteran in the Archive' as part of the @erc.europa.eu funded COLVET project. All are welcome- registration necessary. We will discuss contexts as diverse as India, Eritrea, West, East and Southern Africa, the colonial Caribbean and beyond.
"“What are we wanting students to belong to?” What is the space of the university? What is the history of our discipline? What key intellectual voices and ideas do we engage with? Should we really be asking racialised students to “be at home” in these spaces, with this history and with these ideas?"
How do colonial-era racial theories continue to influence modern science in India?
In our latest GHIL #podcast interview we're exploring this question by examining new research which traces the transnational connections between Germany and colonial India in the field of racial science. 🎧
