Uncivil Liberalism studies how ideas of liberty from the colonized South claimed universality in the North. Recovering the political thought of Dadabhai Naoroji, India's pre-eminent liberal, this book focusses on the Grand Old Man’s pre-occupation with social interdependence and civil peace in an age of growing cultural diversity and economic inequality. It shows how Naoroji used political economy to critique British liberalism's incapacity for civil peace by linking periods of communal rioting in colonial Bombay with the Parsi minority's economic decline.

2022 marks the centenary of the conclusion of the Greek-Turkish War in Asia Minor. The conclusion of the conflict and the subsequent Lausanne Peace Treaty (1923) reshaped the landscape of south-eastern Europe and the Middle East and became a landmark event in the modern history of displacement and refugeedom. The Greek-Turkish population exchange had an eventful afterlife. It became a template for demographic politics and partitions across the globe - from Central Europe (Nazi Germany) to South Asia (India/Pakistan) and the Middle East (Israel/Palestine).

As co-editors of this recent volume, Othon Anastasakis, Manolis Pratsinakis and Foteini Kalantzi will offer a European comparative perspective on their findings alongside other experts on diaspora engagement.

When we hear the word, “trauma”, most of us will think of a monumental, life-changing event such as living through a war or a one-off attack. This is not always the case – trauma can be caused by the build-up of smaller adverse experiences over time.

This safe-space seminar is designed for awareness raising about the risks of trauma from fieldwork and is suitable for any who has done, or is planning to do, research fieldwork, irrespective of discipline, context, research methods or research topic.
