Harvard Library Fellow Binalakshmi Nepram will give the Spring 2022 George Parker Winship Lecture. She is an Indigenous scholar, founder-director of the Manipur Women Gun Survivors Network, and convener of the Global Alliance of Indigenous Peoples, Gender Justice and Peace.
In "Documenting Indigenous Nations, War, and Peace: Discovering and Preserving the Stories, Struggles, and History of Manipur, Northeast India," Nepram will explain the turbulent history of Manipur, a southeast Asian nation state that was forcibly “merged” with India in 1949. Still under martial law today, the culture of its Indigenous inhabitants has been suppressed through decades of state-sanctioned violence. Nepram will discuss the efforts of scholar-activists to document Manipur's Indigenous history and cultures amidst these struggles.
The lecture is co-sponsored by Houghton Library, Tozzer Library, and Widener Library.
