Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pax Economica: Disha Karnad Jani Interviews Marc-William Palen
Q: How did your classroom experiences influence your research and writing?
Teaching allowed me to explore these themes dynamically, adapting my curriculum based on student input and ongoing research, enriching the narrative I could present in the book.
Pax Economica: Disha Karnad Jani Interviews Marc-William Palen
Q: What did you find notable about left-wing visions of free trade?
They often imagined free trade as a way to undermine militarism and support democratic policymaking, seeing it as integral to achieving peace and prosperity.
Pax Economica: Disha Karnad Jani Interviews Marc-William Palen
Q: Why do you think there is a predominant association of free trade with right-wing visions in historiography?
This association stems largely from the neglect of economic dimensions within peace historiography and the dominant rise of neoliberal free market ideas since the late 20th century.
Pax Economica: Disha Karnad Jani Interviews Marc-William Palen
Q: How did you come to this project?
It stemmed from my previous book on the US free trade movement and its connections to British free trade efforts, growing into a larger narrative of peace and anti-imperial activism.
The Archive of Empire: Disha Karnad Jani Interviews Asheesh Kapur Siddique
Q: What is this archival epistemology that you've focused on in your book?
Archival epistemology is a way of making an argumentative claim where the evidentiary basis of the claim is a fundamental part of the claim itself, tied to the use of documentation to justify administrative decisions.
