About the event
We have a wonderful partnership speaking to the Friends of the Bodleian in March.
Nandini Das, the winner of this year’s British Academy Book Prize, will speak about her latest publication, Courting India. This covers the period of the Mughal Empire, and will be partnered with the newly conserved, beautiful Mughal Album, acquired by the Bodleian in 1834.
Curator Alasdair Watson and conservator Julia Bearman will team up with Nandini Das to offer the Friends an opportunity to see the album and hear Nandini speak about this rich period of history.
Speakers
Nandini Das is Professor of Early Modern Literature and Culture and Tutorial Fellow at Exeter College, University of Oxford.
Alasdair Watson is a Khalili Research Centre Research Associate and Bahari Curator of Persian Collections at the Bodleian Library.
