Objectives

In the course of this lecture series, participants will create their own arguments about the histories of women in colonial India. They will compare, contrast and evaluate different kinds of visual and textual, primary and secondary source materials related to gender, health and society in British India. Participants will constantly question expected gender roles as they study the histories of women, conjugality, sexuality, community, nation and empire. They will be able to explain intersecting narratives of Colonialism, Nationalism, Feminism, Postcolonialism and Decoloniality.
