The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of the ways in which contemporary Britain has been and is actively being shaped by its Empire, focussing on South Asia. To do so this, the module 

• focuses upon the way in which historically Britain's relationship with South Asia has shaped its contemporary economic, social and political life. 
• uses inter-disciplinary perspectives from the fields of History, Sociology, Gender studies, law and literature to highlight the various ways in which the Britain’s Empire continues to shape its contemporary socio-political and cultural landscape.   
• will bring to together South-Asia focussed teaching expertise within the University of Warwick tohighlight multiple themes around 'South Asia in Britain'- mobilities and migrant flows, cultural and material lives of migrants, encounters with the legal system, gender and race regimes, workers’ rights, resistance movements and so on.  
• engage students with innovative and active learning to not only broaden their understanding of the British Empire, but also to historcise and problematise taken for granted assumptions about it.  
• embed a variety of innovative pedagogic practices and engage with a variety of academic and non-academic material to enhance their learning experience

**We will be meeting for the first session in week 1: Tuesday 1st October**

Change seeks to engage with theories and experiences of change and to enact change within our classroom together. For that reason, our online presence is primarily based on OneNote where we can all co-create the space together. This will also allow Sean to join in more actively from the USA. We will share a link to the OneNote here shortly. Please check back.
