The University at Buffalo, SUNY, is proud to hold its sixth annual Rustgi Undergraduate Conference on South Asia. We invite papers on the theme “South Asia in Story,” which may be interpreted broadly in its social and artistic senses. By focusing on South Asian narratives, the organizers hope that participants can offer new perspectives on both global and local issues.
The H-Decol network provides a forum in which the end of European, American and Asian empires and the rise of independent nation-states, principally, but not exclusively, in the long twentieth century, can be understood holistically, across the boundaries drawn by particular bilateral metropole-colony relations. H-Decol explores the nexus of power, strategy and identity that carved overseas empires into the nation-states that make up the modern atlas. Above all, H-Decol seeks to encourage scholarly discussion and debate across academic disciplines on the course of imperial retrenchment, and the broader cultural, economic, political and ideological imprint left by decolonization on both the 'colonizer' and the 'colonized'.
The Pierre Du Bois Foundation supports the organization of workshops dedicated to PhD candidates and early-career scholars researching phenomena of the recent past and recent historiographical developments. This year's workshop will study migratory routes from ex-imperial colonies to Europe after the Second World War. In particular, the event aims to put in conversation colonized subjects and ex-imperial states to disentangle their mutual interactions.
In the cities of Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand, real estate seems to be almost a second nature. It is a pervasive fact in daily life, structuring the economy and the environment. Wealth is tied up in it, our planning systems serve it, and our culture obsesses over how to obtain and improve it. But real estate has no independent history or power in itself.
