8 CURRICULUM VITAE - ABRIDGED (Page 8) Work In Progress My personal research project at this time involves the research and writing of a book-length project which theorizes class from the experience and perspective of `working-classness. My subject is the British working classes who went to India during the two centuries of British imperialism. The poor whites, about whom Rudyard Kipling had much to say, have been neglected in recent recoveries of modern British and Indian history and entirely ignored in literary scholarship. I suspect that the recorded impressions of these people (their diaries, letters, works of fiction, and so on) will contribute some new ideas to our ever-expanding image of the British Raj and will help us to understand the workings of class in a highly-stratified colonial culture. I am also one of the principal investigators for a collaborative project, entitled Performing on the Margins of India, This project follows from some earlier work on the history of the temple dancers of colonial India and from my research on Bollywood film. This is a collaborative project involving scholars, dancers, a playwright/director, and filmmakers from India and Canada, and it seeks to build new theories and historical methodologies through which to understand the performance traditions of contemporary India. Its focus is on the dance, music, and theatre created by practitioners from traditional performing families, specifically those who have inherited the devadasi and tawa if repertoire. Recently, I ve also completed essays on fiction written during the colonial period by two Indian women authors as well as a commentary for a volume of essays on the Air India tragedy of 1985, and I have begun work on language in South Indian Dalit literature.
