What does it mean to lose land, and with it, identity, memory, and rights? Join us for an evening with two leading scholars examining these questions through the lens of Kashmir.

Dr. Angana P. Chatterji is the Founding Chair of the Political Conflict, Gender and People's Rights Initiative, University of California, Berkeley. An anthropologist and interdisciplinary scholar of South Asia, Dr. Chatterji’s work examines political conflict, nationalism, and rights in India and Kashmir. A Global Fellow, University of Bergen; and Distinguished Fellow, Rafto Foundation for Human Rights, Norway, her investigations with colleagues in Kashmir include inquiry into unknown, mass graves. Publications include: Majoritarian State: How Hindu Nationalism is Changing India and Kashmir: The Case for Freedom.

Dr. Ather Zia (University of Northern Colorado) is a professor in the Department of Anthropology and Gender Studies Program. A political anthropologist, poet, short fiction writer, and columnist whose work examines militarization, gender, and political resistance, Dr. Zia is Associate Editor of the Encyclopedia of Women & Islamic Cultures; Co-founder of the Critical Kashmir Studies Collective; and Founder-editor of Kashmir Lit. Publications include: Resisting Disappearances: Military Occupation and Women's Activism in Kashmir and In Kashmir: Writing Under Occupation, a poetry collection from Agitate Collective.

The panel will be followed by a moderated discussion and audience Q&A.
