The city. If you haven’t heard of Begum Samru, you have got to head over to the link in our bio right NOW! Because this nineteenth-century woman kicked some serious ass! She was a courtesan, concubine, lover, wife, leader, noble, and a multicultural colonial figure who threw the best parties in Delhi. If you want to listen to the life of #BegumSamru, her battles, her army, her patronage and palaces, our latest episode is just the thing for you. Link in bio. #southasia #southasianwomen #historypodcast #indianhistory #southasianhistory #womenshistory #womenleaders #colonialism Little bit of color. ❤️ Spring has sprung! #chicago Thompson Center. It’s the weirdest indoor public space I’ve been in. I am glad the city is selling it instead of demolishing this one. Train station, driving license office, shopping mall, food court, all rolled into one. It’s probably the weirdest postmodernist (?) building in Chicago. Part of the fun doing a South Asia podcast is to read things I never read otherwise and learn in the process of recording with guests. This week’s episode is one of those kinds - about female impersonation by people “perceived” as males by society and the complex issues of gender, caste, and class that underlie these performances and status of performers. Check it out if you are interested in a discussion on transgender issues, performance/theater, and what female impersonation means in South Asia. Link in bio. . . . . . . . . . . . . #podcast #southasia #culture #history #podcastinglife #womenshistorymonth #transgender #performance Came for a conference. Drove to an old railroad mining town. Took photographs. Missed a couple of panels. Kind of panicked about presentation slides. #phdlife More snow. Means less cold. Icicle tree! Who is this handsome guy? Well, may be not a guy...Hint of a bosom, Muslin transparent tunic pleated in front, royal princely turban. Not a prince, she is Empress Nur Jahan, seen here as the great hunter that she was. Head over to my bio link to hear more about her. (Last call - we are moving to the life of a 12th century king next week!) . . . . . . . : . . . . . #india #southasia #history #mughal #mughalempire #womenshistory #nurjahan #jahangir #shahjahan #seventeenthcentury
