The Politics of Memory: The Reimagination of Medieval India

TORCH welcomes Professor Fouzia Farooq, Professor Sarah Ansari, Professor Nandini Chatterjee, and Dr Moin Nizami for a panel discussion exploring the reinterpretations of medieval histories of India. The discussion will examine how these narratives have evolved and been reshaped over time and the implications these shifts have for our understanding of identity, power, and collective memory.

Join us for a hybrid session with Dr Victoria Phillips as we explore the possibilities of mining government and online databases to uncover valuable information for life-writing subjects. From tracking historical figures to discovering untold narratives, this workshop will equip participants with practical strategies and insights for using archival resources effectively in their research.

Responsibilities:

Nayantara Ranganatha

I am a second-year MPhil student in Comparative Government and a member of St Anne's College. My research interests include political behaviour, authoritarian politics, legacies of violence, and transitional justice. My dissertation explores the enduring legacies of violent repression under authoritarianism on contemporary political attitudes and draws on both quantitative and qualitative evidence from the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile.

Severin Dauer

I am a second-year student in the MPhil in International Relations and a member of St. Anne´s College. Having an interdisciplinary background in economics, politics, finance and philosophy, my research interests are broad, yet geared towards European integration, identity politics, Middle Eastern affairs and CFSP. Outside of my studies, I am involved in several transdisciplinary societies, also serving as President of the Europeanist Society Oxford.

Adam Sharon

I am a first-year student in the MPhil in International Relations program and a member of Somerville College. My research focuses primarily on deterrence in conflicts involving states and violent non-state actors, particularly in the context of Israel and the broader Middle East. I am also deeply interested in the evolution of Israeli strategic thinking following 7 October, and in the challenges US-Israel relations pose to traditional scholarship in International Relations.
