How do I see the video/hear the audio? There are two ways to experience the multimedia content on this site:
- Download: Just right-click (or control-click on a Mac) on a link that says "download" and choose "save file as" (or something similar) -- this will save a .mov (Quicktime) or .mp3 file onto your computer. Since these files might be very large, this is only recommended if you have a fast connection and a lot of room on your hard drive.
- In your browser: If you don't want to save the file on your computer, click the "new window" link. The audio or video file should begin playing in a new window. To see video or hear audio in your browser, you'll need the free Quicktime plugin for your browser. We also recommend using a standards-compliant browser such as Firefox to view this site.
What is a podcast? Podcasting is a method of distributing multimedia content over the web. When you use a program called a "podcatcher" to subscribe to a podcast, the podcatcher will periodically check to see if new content (in this case, audio or video files) has been added to the podcast. If new content is available, the podcatcher will automatically download the new file(s) for you, making them available to play on your computer, iPod, or other digital media device.
What do these buttons mean?
will take you to a page that will allow you to subscribe via one of several different podcatchers. You can also right-click (control-click for Mac) and copy the address into the podcatcher of your choice.
will allow you to subscribe to the podcast via the iTunes music store, if that is your preferred podcatcher. It's free to subscribe and download podcasts from iTunes, but you have to have iTunes installed on your computer (download it now).
Still confused? The University has posted information about RSS, the technology behind podcasting as well as information about subscribing to RSS feeds. If you want to learn more, you can also read Wikipedia's article on podcasting.

After Europe: Postcolonial Knowledge in the Age of Globalization
March 12, 2010
Panel 2: The Problem of Historical Difference
- Miranda Johnson, University of Michigan
"Non-Sovereign Histories and Indigenous People in the Era of Decolonization" - Bain Attwood, Monash University
"Minority Histories and Historical Wounds: Postcolonialism and the Public Life of History in Australia" - Ajay Skaria, University of Minnesota
"Gandhi's Ramarajya"
2010 marked ten years since the publication of Dipesh Chakrabarty's highly influential and generative Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference. The moment therefore offered a unique opportunity to take stock, in the form of a one-day conference, of the book's many habitations over the past decade. The conference provided a venue in which to explore the varied influence of Provincializing Europe not only in South Asian history and postcolonial studies, but also in fields as diverse as medieval studies, European history, musicology, and African, Latin American and Australasian studies. The conference aimed to take stock of these multi-regional and multi-disciplinary conversations as well as to engage their future iterations.
