Fung Public Lecture: Antoinette Burton, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Antoinette Burton, Swanlund Endowed Chair and Professor of History, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, is a historian of 19th and 20th century Britain and its empire, with a specialty in colonial India, and an ongoing interest in Australasia and Africa. She has written on topics ranging from feminism and colonialism to the relationship of empire to the nation and the world. Women, gender and sexuality have always been central to her research, which has drawn on intersectional methods to privilege race as a modality through which systems and identities operate. She is especially concerned with the role of Indian women in India, in Britain and in the wider diaspora. --- Event Details: https://my.princeton.edu/rsvp?id=1962106
