معرفی
Maria Misra is a Professor of Global History and a Fellow of Keble College at the University of Oxford. Her work bridges historical inquiry with contemporary global debates, focusing on gender, post-colonialism, and South Asian history. She teaches courses such as 'Global & Imperial History' and 'Postcolonial Historiography,' emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to understanding cultural and intellectual developments in colonial and post-colonial contexts.
Her research interests include gender dynamics across time and space, the socio-political legacies of empire, and the interplay between nationalism and identity in India and Britain. She critiques colonial narratives, particularly exploring race, business, and memory in late colonial India. Current projects aim to synthesize cultural studies, literary analysis, and social sciences for a global gender history.
Maria has been awarded the first AHRC Fellowship in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (2008) and served as a judge for the Samuel Johnson Non-Fiction Prize (2005) and the Terence Reese Prize for Imperial and Commonwealth History. She frequently contributes to media discourse, including TV documentaries like 'India’s Daughter' (2015) and radio programs like BBC Radio 4’s 'In Our Time.' Her writing extends to major publications like The Guardian, Financial Times, and Prospect Magazine.
She supervises doctoral and master’s students in South Asian history and global history topics. Her academic contributions are anchored at the Oxford Centre for Global History, where she collaborates on research exploring interconnected global historical themes.
