Atiya Hussain, PhD in History and Politics from the Graduate Institute (2023), brings a world history approach to the study of the economic implications of decolonization, situating the Partition of British India within the transnational framework of the British Empire. At the intersection of economic history, and memory studies, her work seeks to complement often partial views offered by metropolitan archives and subsequent ‘national’ narratives of imperial retreat and state-formation as a back-story to ‘development’. Previous training MA Economics, New School. Recovering journalist.
