We are thrilled to announce our March speaker in the Spring 2024 New Hampshire International Seminar (NHIS) lecture series, Dr. Smita Lahiri of the University of New Hampshire’s Anthropology Department!
Join us on Thursday, March 28th at 12:40-2pm in MUB Theater I to hear professor Lahiri’s share her work, “Cross Talk in India: Multilingual Registers and Political Messaging in the Narendra Modi Era.”
Dr. Lahiri’s research focuses on the nation as the product of collective cultural imagination and local action in South and Southeast Asia. My primary approach is ethnographic (i.e. based on fieldwork and personal immersion), and is informed by historical research and social theory. Dr. Lahiri’s ongoing projects include investigations of multilingual media, financial inclusion, and everyday money management amongst low and middle income residents of Delhi.
The New Hampshire International Seminar (NHIS) is a series of talks organized by the International Affairs Program at UNH to cultivate community-wide dialogue on critical global issues. Join us on this intellectual journey, where UNH faculty, staff, students, and community members come together to explore the pivotal facets of international affairs that shape our world!
