Educated in Australia, and currently Lawrence A. Kimpton Distinguished Service Professor of History, South Asian Languages and Civilizations and the College at the University of Chicago, his name might perhaps be most familiar as a member of the Subaltern Studies collective. He has recently made important contributions to the intersections between history and postcolonial theory (Provincializing Europe), which continues and revises his earlier historical work on working-class history in Bengal (Rethinking Working-Class History).
