The annual seminar series ‘Visual Constructions of South Asia’ launched in 2014 at the University of Cambridge and hosted by the Centre of South Asian Studies continues in Lent term 2015 with talks by Hamza Beg, Edward Anderson, Adrian Ruprecht, and Nasreen Rehman. The series is part of the ‘Visual Language and South Asian History Program' led by Dr Annamaria Motrescu-Mayes (Clare Hall College) and aims to introduce Cambridge under-/postgraduate students, academic staff, researchers at different career stages, and visiting scholars to the ways in which visual research methods support the development of new perspectives on South Asian history and culture. Seminars take place fortnightly on Mondays, 4:00-6:00pm, in S2 Seminar Room, Alison Richard Building, 7 West Rd., CB3 9DT.
