\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 September 21, 2009 \u2013 A University of Chicago professor with expertise in the history of India will speak Tuesday, Sept. 29 at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Honors Colloquium, Demystifying India.<\/p>\n


\nDipesh Chakrabarty will discuss \u201cIndian Modernity: Once Colonial, Now Global\u201d at 7:30 p.m. in Room 271 of the Chafee Social Science Center, 10 Chafee Road, Kingston. All Honors Colloquium programs are open to the public. Chakrabarty\u2019s talk is also the 溏心vlog免费B站 Diversity Week Keynote Lecture.<\/p>\n


\nFor the first time, the Honors Colloquium is offering the lectures through live streaming video and podcasts to those who can\u2019t get to the Kingston Campus. You can access the podcasts and streaming video by going to uri.edu\/hc. As a public health precaution, the University is asking those with influenza-like symptoms on the day of the event not to attend, but rather watch online.<\/p>\n


\nThe series opener, Sept. 15 with Edward Luce of the Financial Times, filled the 500-seat Chafee auditorium while another 100 or so watched the simulcast of the lecture on a screen in a smaller, nearby auditorium. Nearly 300 watched the lecture online.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe were thrilled with the live attendance figures for the opening night, but even more exciting was that anyone from anywhere in the world could watch the lecture live online whether they live in Providence or Bangalore, India,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 Professor of Marketing Nikhilesh Dholakia, who is coordinating the series with Marketing Professor Ruby Dholakia and Engineering Professor Arun Shukla. \u201cWe heard from several people that the online broadcast was of the highest quality. The next lecture with Professor Chakrabarty will examine India\u2019s transition from colonial subject of Britain to an independent global player.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nAs the L.A. Kimpton Distinguished Service Professor in History at the University of Chicago, Chakrabarty focuses on the development of South Asia in the first half of the 20th century. He researches the changing forms of mass-politics in the subcontinent.<\/p>\n


\nHe is also a Faculty Fellow of the Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory, holds a visiting position at the Research School of Humanities at the Australian National University, and an Honorary Professorial Fellowship with the School of Historical Studies at the University of Melbourne, Australia.<\/p>\n


\nChakrabarty’s books include: Rethinking Working-Class History: Bengal 1890-1940 (Princeton: 1989, 2000); Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference (Princeton, 2000); Habitations of Modernity: Essays in the Wake of Subaltern Studies (Chicago, 2000); Provincializzare l’Europa (Rome: Meltemi, 2004). <\/p>\n


\nChakrabarty was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2004 and an Honorary Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities in 2006.
