Thinking Queerly: South Asia and the Question of Prehistory
July 29th, 10am EDT
We are very pleased to announce a series of webinars honoring the winners of the MAA Inclusivity & Diversity Grants and Prizes: Mohamad Ballan (Article Prize in Critical Race Studies), Kartik Maini (Belle da Costa Greene Prize), Greg Carrier (Inclusivity & Diversity Research Grant) and Tirumular Narayanan (Inclusivity & Diversity Travel Grant). These webinars will be hosted by the MAA Inclusivity & Diversity Committee and are made possible by an Intention Foundry Learned Society Extended Engagement Microgrant from the American Council of Learned Societies.
The Inclusivity and Diversity Committee is proud to present the work of our annual prize winners. Please join us on Tuesday, July 29 at 10:00 am EST for an interactive webinar discussion with Kartik Maini, winner of The Belle Da Costa Greene Award. Named after the first manuscript librarian of the Pierpont Morgan collection, the first known person of color, and second woman to be elected a Fellow of the Medieval Academy of America, this travel award supports graduate students, emerging junior scholars, adjunct, and unaffiliated scholars. Kartik will present a talk on their scholarship titled, “Thinking Queerly: South Asia and the Question of Prehistory,” followed by a brief discussion led by I&D committee chair, Rachael Vause. The floor will then open to questions for our esteemed prize winner. We hope you will join us!
