PGF Seminar 24th March 1-2pm

We will be hearing from Meena Menon a first year PhD student in the School of History at the University of Leeds. Meena’s research examines India’s development paradigm rooted in high modernism and gigantism, the emergence and leadership of social movements and their impact, and the nature of the state, both in colonial and post- colonial times. She will deliver her paper entitled: ‘Social Movements and Local Sovereignty in the Age of Transnational Capital and Ecological Devastation in Postcolonial India’.
