S2E5: Disputation To Conversations: Prof. Dipesh Chakrabarty and His Histories

Historychatter Podcast

This special episode of HistoryChatter features a conversation with Prof. Dipesh Chakrabarty, who works at the University of Chicago.
He speaks about his life and career, from his early exposure to philosophy and literature to reading science and management in university to finally moving to doing history quite late in life and eventually making a series of breakthrough contributions to the discipline of researching and writing history.
In this freewheeling conversation, he reflects on fundamental conceptual questions such as how to make arguments or the particularly complex ways in which the evolving biographies and locations of scholars influence their research, writing and teaching.
It is a must for aspiring students of history, philosophy, law, politics, languages and literary theory. It is more relevant to non historians because it recalls and analyses in a conversational style basic questions about the historians’ methods.

Hosted by Dr. Anirban Bandyopadhyay
