The AHRC-funded major cross-institutional, multi-disciplinary research
project, 'Making Britain: South Asian Visions of Home and Abroad' was set up
in 2007 and led by The Open University, in collaboration with the Universities
of Oxford and London and with the British Library as the main partner. The
project examined the formative South Asian contributions to Britain's
cultural, literary and political life in the period 1870-1950. It received
further funding from The Open University and the AHRC to develop follow-on
projects, 'Archiving Britain's South Asian Heritage' (2010-11) and 'Beyond the
Frame: Indian British Connections, 1858-1950' (2011-12). Though the formal
funding period of the project is over, it continues to develop further spin-
off public engagement activities which have expanded from the original bids.

  
The Research Associate will work in support of the aim of developing on-going
