Misunderstanding Modernity: The Social Scientific Neglect of Colonialism

Modernity is a central concept within the social sciences. It demarcates the world in terms of time and space, separating out the modern from the non-modern, and points to associated disciplinary orderings.
Professor Gurminder K Bhambra addresses our commonly held misunderstandings of modernity and discuss how an adequate address of colonialism would require us to rethink our standard assumptions of the modern world and disciplinary responses to it.

Unfortunately, the poor quality of the recording prevented me from listening to the lecture. It looks like the microphone was positioned miles away from the speaker.
