Kris Manjapra is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Humanities at UCLA. He completed his dissertation in the Harvard History Department in 2007. A student of modern intellectual history from a transnational perspective, his fundamental interest is in how genealogies of thought develop within global arenas, and within entangled histories. Kris Manjapra's areas of particular interest are in South Asian and German thought of the 19th and 20th centuries. He published an article on the travels of Indian anti-colonial activists to WWI Germany in the Journal of Global History (November 2006), and he is currently co-editing a collected volume on South Asian Cosmopolitanism, and working on an article on Gadamer's Hermeneutics. At UCLA, he is also working on his book manuscript on Cosmopolitan Encounter between Indian Revolutionaries and German Radicals, 1905-1939.
