The Architecture of Sovereignty: Making and Unmaking the British Empire in India
This public lecture is an invitation to consider the process by which sovereign community in the modern era is constituted through visual and spatial means.
Dr. Chattopadhyay will also lead “River Stories,” a specialized methods workshop for studying riverine cities, on September 11 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Special Collections Research Center in Bird Library.
Workshop space is limited! Interested faculty, independent scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students are encouraged to sign up promptly.
Both events are co-sponsored by the Syracuse University Humanities Center, the School of Architecture, the Department of Art and Music Histories, and the South Asia Center as part of the Syracuse University Humanities Center’s 21st annual Syracuse Symposium, focused on a “Community” theme for 2024-2025.
