Sumit Sarkar, eminent marxist historian of modern India, founding member of the Subaltern Studies Collective and an immensely kind teacher passed away on August 13. He inspired multiple generations of scholars and has left a towering intellectual legacy. Rest in Peace Sumit!

A trio of fantastic first books from our Politics and International Relations scholars. Using critical methodologies that cut across race, gender, sexuality, and emotion!

le.ac.uk/news/2026/ju... Suspending UK study visas for students from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan, and Cameroon was a disgraceful decision. I'm pleased to see my institution contributing to the Mosaik scholarship initiative. There should be more than 9 UK universities involved with this.
