The QMUL South Asia Forum is pleased to welcome Hafsa Kanjwal for a seminar on her new book, Colonizing Kashmir (Stanford University Press, 2023). The book interrogates how Kashmir was made 'integral' to India in the aftermath of Partition, tracing new hierarchies of power and domination in a postcolonial state.
Hafsa Kanjwal is Assistant Professor of South Asian History at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, where she teaches courses on the history of South Asia, Islam and the Modern World. Hafsa has written and spoken on her research for a variety of news outlets including The Washington Post, Al Jazeera and the BBC.
The seminar will be chaired by Layli Uddin (SPIR) on QMUL's Mile End campus, London, E1 4NS.
