Speaker Laleh Khalili

The Indian Ocean basin is one of the most contested political spaces in contemporary politics, not least because of the long history of colonial conquest and imperial projection there. In this talk, Laleh Khalili will discuss the long history of the intrusion of European powers into this maritime space and discuss the afterlives of colonialism and continued imperial interest in this space.

Laleh Khalili is a professor of Gulf Studies at the University of Exeter and the author or editor of 7 books including Sinews of War and Trade: Shipping and Capitalism in the Arabian Peninsula (Verso 2020) and Extractive Capitalism (forthcoming 2025).
