Professor Sir Chris Bayly Memorial Symposium

8:45, Saturday 21 May 2016

On Saturday 21 May a Symposium will be held at St Catharine's in memory of the life and work of Professor Sir Christopher Bayly, LittD, FBA (1970), who died in Chicago of a heart attack on 19 April 2015 at the age of 69. The Symposium will be entitled 'Sir Christopher Bayly and the Horizons of World History'. It will open with three brief keynotes by distinguished colleagues. Younger Cambridge colleagues inspired by Chris's work will then reflect on his influence. After lunch, there will be a panel on Chris's work in global intellectual history, followed by a sequence of closing comments by senior colleagues, who will offer subjective impressions of Chris's impact on their various fields and on his significance as a practitioner of Indian, imperial and global history. The Symposium will open at 9.45am and finish at 4.00pm.
