Join us for a lunchtime forum hosted by the History Department in Ranglas Room, RWAC 0935, focusing on the field of Indian Ocean History. The session will feature a guided discussion on Isabel Homeyi’s thought-provoking article, “The Complicating Sea: The Indian Ocean as Method.”
Originally published in the journal Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East, this piece explores how the Indian Ocean can be used as a framework to address complex historical connections between regions, peoples, and cultures. The discussion will delve into how this maritime space serves as a methodological tool to rethink historical boundaries and transregional interactions.
The article will be shared in advance with all registered participants, so be sure to sign up early to receive your copy. Lunch will be provided during the forum. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore fresh perspectives on oceanic history and engage with fellow scholars in a relaxed academic setting.
