Practicing Transnational History: with Anshul Verma and Professor Harald Fischer Tiné The Transimperial History Podcast
-
- Society & Culture
In the transimperial history podcast’s second episode, PhD Candidate Anshul Verma talks to Professor Harald Fischer Tiné from ETH Zurich about how transimperial networks of scientists shaped the way colonialism was practiced on the ground, when a transimperial framework isn't required, and how to retain a balance between agency and structure.
Join us as we discuss the benefits and the limits of practicing transimperial history, and ask what the YMCA and the Boy Scouts were doing in the
rural United Provinces of northern India in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
