The Summer Institute will be built around seminar-style sessions led by faculty scholars and supplemented with sessions designed to give doctoral students space to explore questions related to their research and professional development.

  5. Expected completion date of Ph.D., if applicable.

      LIVE EVENT - Living the Nile River: Materiality, Embodiment, and Egypt's Colonial Economy (3 June)

      From the microscopic to the regional, the local to the imperial, Jennifer L. Derr’s book, The Lived Nile: Environment, disease, and material colonial economy in Egypt, places the environment at the center of questions about politics, knowledge, and the lived experience of human bodies. At the root of this investigation lies the notion that the Nile is not a singular entity but a realm of practice and a set of materially specific relations that structured experiences of colonial economy. The production of a new Nile River helped to mold the future of technocratic knowledge and shape the bodies of those who inhabited rural communities. In her talk, Derr will explore the material and epistemological histories of this profound transformation
