Mumbai At Home and in the World: Gender, Sexuality and the Postcolonial City

Catherine Sameh

From January 9 to 16, 2013, faculty affiliated with the Barnard Center for Research on Women’s Transnational Feminisms Initiative and the Barnard Global Symposia held an interdisciplinary Winter Seminar, “Mumbai At Home and in the World: Gender, Sexuality and the Postcolonial City,” at Sophia College in Mumbai, India. The seminar reflected Barnard’s investment in innovative and collaborative engagements with partners around the world in an era of new global scholarly and pedagogical possibilities. The seminar was hosted by Sophia College and taught by faculty from Barnard, Sophia, and Lady Shri Ram College in Delhi. The student body for this seminar was drawn from Barnard (8 students), Sophia (50 students) and Lady Shri Ram (2 students).

Our objectives are to build upon existing transnational research projects of Barnard faculty; develop new institutional and individual professional collaborations for the specific purposes of creating truly global classroom experiences and curricular innovations; facilitate scholarly exchanges with faculty at multiple, related sites; encourage student exchanges; and deepen ties between Barnard College and institutions abroad.
