Conversations on South Asia Series

Will Glover's  "Reformatting Agrarian Life: Urban History from the Countryside in Colonial India", March 2nd, 12:15 PM - 1:30 PM (EST). 
 
Join us for an engaging Zoom event with Will Glover as he discusses his book. Reformatting Agrarian Life presents a stealth urban history from the countryside that foregrounds the mutual entanglements of agrarian and urban expertise. William J. Glover traces an essential genealogy for understanding how urbanism unexpectedly left the city in late colonial India and began to settle in agrarian space, exploring how two milieus that were initially seen as distinct were gradually brought together both conceptually and in practices of ordinary life.
