In recent years, I have gained a deep understanding of the book cultures in South Asia and the various challenges that scholars face when studying it. As a member of the BoD at SHARP, I aim to create ways to generate a global interest in the study of South Asian Book History and Print Cultures. Locating South Asia as an important site for the history and cultures of authorship, reading, and publishing is just the first step. Collaborative efforts between a broader network of book and print historians can lead to the development of new methodologies and practices to study South Asia. I am also committed to promoting the work of SHARP in India, through research collaborations, organisation of workshops, seminars, and conferences in India/ South Asia and through pedagogical investment (such as joint curriculum development).
