Professor Pamila Gupta presents her inaugural lecture, which traces the trajectories of Gupta’s anthropological scholarship over the past 15 years.

It starts in Goa (India), moves to Southern and East Africa (Mozambique, Angola, South Africa, and Zanzibar), and returns to Goa. The framing device will be that of “keywords” as a vocabulary of culture and society (following Raymond Williams, 1976) in order to reflect shifting research interests and writings on decolonisation.
