Where Are We At? - PGR and ECR Symposium
This special symposium for Oxford Postgraduate and Early Career researchers is an opportunity to share "where you are at" in your research with our vibrant community of women’s, gender and queer historians. It is, more broadly, a day to think about the state of play in these sub-disciplines and their relationship with each other. The day will consist of various panels, poster presentations, and pre-circulated papers, which will allow attendees to consider these sub-fields of history - and their connections to other fields in the social sciences and humanities - in diverse formats.
The Long Disenchantment: Reassessing UK-EU Relations from Accession to Brexit
This book seeks to replace a comforting European narrative of British missed opportunities with a chronicle of the complexity of UK/EC-EU relations.

Building on an in-depth study of primary and secondary sources, the author sheds new light on the intricacies of that relationship.

The Modern Life of Sanskrit: An Encounter with Psychoanalysis
One of the modern disciplines where Sanskrit finds fertile ground is psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis gets established in India by the early 1920s, thanks to Girindrasekhar Bose and Romain Rolland, both of whom are closely connected to Freud in the final years of his life, and try to get him interested in Indian philosophy, psychology and spirituality. While Freudian psychoanalysis as a clinical practice peters out for the most part after independence, it enjoys a renaissance in Indology, through the work of A.K. Ramanujan, Robert Goldman and Wendy Doniger, among others.
