DMU Inaugural Lecture: Parallel Lines: The Personal In Partition

About

DMU Inaugural Lecture: Parallel Lines: The Personal In Partition

Join us to hear from Professor of Modern South Asian History Pippa Virdee for her inaugural professorial lecture Parallel Lines: The Personal in Partition.

This lecture will foreground personal experiences of researching across three nations (India, Pakistan, and England), one region (Punjab), and waves of forced/voluntary migrations, all connected through the British empire. Simultaneously, it offers reflections upon the parallel evolution of partition historiography and the enduring legacies of 1947, beyond the divided lands and communities. Lastly, the lecture will consider the ways in which the intervention of Digital Humanities and Public History in the memorialisation of Partition is creating new ways of reimagining the past.
