Some info about Pippa Virdee 

Pippa Virdee
De Montfort University, History, Faculty Member | Colonial Punjab +35
My area of academic interest is in British colonial history, the history of the Punjab, especially the Partition and its legacies, the construction of identity in colonial and post-colonial India and Pakistan.
My work focuses particularly on the marginalised voices of Partition in an attempt to highlight the value and contribution of these silent voices. Recently I was successful in getting funding for a two-year research project from the Gerda Henkel Foundation. This project continues with my interest in women and their contribution to national histories in Pakistan. This latest research examines the role of women and gender politics in an Islamic society such as Pakistan, which has undergone so much change in the past sixty years.
I also have an interest in the South Asian Disapora in Britain and the transformation of cities such as Leicester and Coventry.
