Tiraana Bains is an Assistant Professor of History at Brown University, specializing in modern Britain and the global British Empire. Her research investigates the contested formation of the British imperial state in South Asia between the 18th and 20th centuries, emphasizing participatory and revolutionary dimensions of imperial governance. PhD, Yale University, 2021 MA, Yale University, 2015 BA, Yale University, 2015 Postdoctoral Fellowship, Modern Intellectual History, Dartmouth College, 2021–2023 Her research interests lie at the intersection of imperial history, political authority, and intellectual frameworks of empire. She examines how both elite and non-elite actors across Britain and South Asia contested and shaped imperial rule, taxation, and labor systems. Her work positions British imperial formation not merely as coercion but as a dynamic, ideologically charged process comparable to revolutionary state-building in America and France. The recent publications reflect a deep engagement with sovereignty, imperial connectivity, and the intellectual history of empire. Her articles explore the collapse and reconstitution of imperial presidencies, dual sovereignty between Mughal and British powers, and broader conceptual attempts to 'think the empire whole.' These works span journals in British, global, and South Asian history, indicating a transregional and interdisciplinary approach. While no formal scientific awards are listed, her publications in leading historical journals and her active research program suggest strong scholarly recognition. Tiraana Bains teaches undergraduate courses at Brown, including HIST 1267: The Global British Empire, 1600–The Present and HIST 1974E: The Intellectual History of Imperialism . She is currently completing a book titled Instituting Empire: The Contested Makings of a British Imperial State in South Asia, 1750–1800 , which promises to make a significant contribution to the field. Her postdoctoral training at Dartmouth further underscores her expertise in intellectual history. Though no lab or research team is mentioned, her collaborative publications suggest engagement with a broader scholarly network at Brown and beyond.
