Ready with #powerdressing #bangles to give plenary lecture on #amidsummernightsdream at Irish Renaissance Seminar. Huge thanks to Dr Edel Semple @UniversityCollegeCork l think that Ireland is exactly the place to talk about poetry, politics, and gendered silences of colonisation.

I wrote briefly about this mom in my article on Indian Shax film’s different reception in the US & UK for @EarlyModernDoc & Koel Chatterjee’s collection: lives of impact, changing the world not so long past…
Today I am thinking of my mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris, and the many lessons she taught me. I am so proud to be her daughter. Happy Mother's Day to the mothers, stepmoms, grandmothers, godmothers, aunties, and all the women in our lives who love, raise, and guide us.
