Rohan Deb Roy

Associate Professor in South Asian History in the School of Humanities, University of Reading

I am Lecturer in South Asian History at the University of Reading (2015-present). I am particularly interested in the histories of science and medicine, histories of empire and colonialism, environmental history, and animal history. I am the author of Malarial Subjects: Empire, Medicine and Nonhumans in British India, 1820-1909 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2017) and co-editor (with Guy Attewell) of Locating the Medical: Explorations in South Asian History (New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2018). I have put together a co-edited special issue on "Nonhuman Empires" (with Sujit Sivasundaram) for the journal Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East, (35.1, May 2015).
