Cultural Difference and Sovereignty: The Ethics and Politics of Saintly Families in the Nineteenth Century Indian Ocean World

Description

An interdisciplinary reading group dedicated to understanding ethical deliberation that takes place in the light of regional, temporal and cultural difference convened by Dr Jonathan Mair (CRASSH). All welcome, but please email Dr Jonathan Mair if you wish to attend to request the readings.   

The format will be the same as last term, with two short readings for each session, but with a twist: this term the author of one of the readings will be present to introduce the piece and discuss it in the light of the other text.
