Dear all,

We hope you're doing well. The Department of Political Science is delighted to invite you to a colloquium on Oct 17th, 2024.

Shalaka's research explores how political order is constructed in conflict zones. She has been conducting fieldwork in northeast India along the Indo-Myanmar border since 2013, engaging with non-state armed groups, state security forces, civil society and businesses to understand how wartime orders connect to questions of peacebuilding. Shalaka has been a research associate at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and is currently the lead researcher on a project exploring informal taxation in borderlands at the International Center for Tax and Development (ICTD). Her work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and books, such as Asian Security and the Routledge Handbook of Smuggling. She has an MSc in Conflict Studies from LSE.

Refreshments will be served at the venue. We look forward to having you with us.

Warm regards,
Department of Political Science
