South Asian history has been the locus for key debatesfrom those on the origins of early trans-oceanic merchant networks to those on the making of new forms of imperial rule, on nationalism and decolonization, and on subaltern studies, postcolonialism, and globalizationwhich have had a broad comparative and methodological reach beyond the boundaries of South Asia. The history of early modern and modern South Asia has been approached by multiple perspectives, which are broadly represented by our South Asian history faculty, who offer temporally, spatially, and conceptually diverse approaches to graduate studies and prefer that student projects speak to processes beyond South Asia.<br><br>Our South Asia faculty's research spans regional (north and south), linguistic (Bengali, Tamil, Hindi, Urdu), epochal (pre-modern and modern) and thematic (social, intellectual, cultural) divisions of historical studies. Our program encourages the forging of comparative and global approaches to the social, intellectual, and cultural history of South Asia. It builds upon and bolsters existing department interests in comparative and international history, imperial and post-imperial formations, social and intellectual history.
