In this episode we'll speak with AIIS Book Prize winner Dr. Dipti Khera, Associate Professor of Art History in the Department of Art History and Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, about her new book The Place of Many Moods: Udaipur’s Painted Lands and India’s Eighteenth Century. We'll hear about Dr. Khera's experience with the American Institute of Indian Studies, navigating the publishing landscape, the expansive world of moods and aesthetics, and the complexities of interdisciplinary scholarship.
Joining us to discuss the AIIS Book Prize and lead us into discussion on The Place of Many Moods is Dr. Deborah Hutton, Professor of Art History at The College of New Jersey.
The Place of Many Moods is out now through Princeton University Press. You can learn more about this project through Dr. Khera's rich, multimodal book website: theplaceofmanymoods.org.
