Abstract
Dipesh Chakrabarty (b. 1948) is widely recognized as a cultural historian and postcolonial theorist of immense acuity and formidable imagination. Known especially for his critical coinage of “provincializing Europe” and cross-disciplinary considerations of the Anthropocene, Chakrabarty has variously contributed to the rethinking of subaltern historiography and working-class culture, modernity and history, and climate change and planetary subjects. Dipesh was born and raised in the city of Calcutta. He received a BSc (honors) in physics from Presidency College, University of Calcutta, a master’s in business management from the Indian Institute of Management (Calcutta), and his PhD in history from the Australian National University, Canberra. Chakrabarty is currently the Lawrence A. Kimpton Distinguished Service Professor in History, South Asian Languages and Civilizations, and the College at the University of Chicago.
