MUTINY AT THE MARGINS: New Perspectives on the Indian uprising of 1857

Conference at the University of Edinburgh, 23rd - 26th July 2007

The University of Edinburgh�s Centre for South Asian Studies and School of History & Classics is holding a conference to mark the 150th Anniversary of the Indian Uprising of 1857.

One of the most iconic events of British imperial history, the Uprising continues to be widely misrepresented and misunderstood. This conference aims to bring together scholars with an interest in developing new approaches and exploring new perspectives on this seminal event. The conference will run over three days and will focus on the involvement of marginal and neglected groups in the Uprising, its historiography and its many historical legacies. This call is for offers of research papers specifically addressing regional studies [e.g. the Punjab]; the experiences of British soldiers and civilians; the involvement and experiences of women; the post-mutiny diaspora; the involvement of adivasis/dalit/nomadic groups; and the later impacts on Muslim and Hindu revivalism, British imperial ideology and Indian nationalism. There will be a panel specifically focussing on the difficulties and divergent approaches to teaching 1857 in various countries and cultures - to which contributions are also warmly welcome.

The Conference organiser is Dr. Crispin Bates, with Drs. Andrea Major and Markus Daechsel, School of History and Classics, University of Edinburgh.

Deadlines: Titles as soon as possible, abstracts by December 1st, final papers by 1st June.

For offers of papers please contact the Conference Committee on 1857conference@ed.ac.uk
