The purpose of this conference is to gather academics and non-academic voices on one platform to showcase emerging research and critical approaches that can enhance our understanding of the 1971 conflict.

The conference will cover the political history of East Pakistan between 1947-71, the democratic struggle for rights, and the genocidal military operation that resulted in mass displacement and massacres.

Additionally, it seeks to trace the aftermath of 1971 in Pakistan as well as the literature, memories, and historiographies on Bangladesh and its subaltern voices of struggle and suffering.

Poster designed by our brilliant student @NayyabNaveed. Administrative stuff handled by super efficient @merabichrayar.
