In this episode FQT Center associate director Che Gossett speaks with professor Homi Bhabha.  Bhabha is the Anne F. Rothenberg Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University. They discuss professor Bhabha's intellectual iterinary and how distinct sites such as Bombay and Oxford have shaped his cosmpolitan thought.  They also discuss his pathbreaking scholarship including such texts as Nation and Narration (Routledge, 1990) and The Location of Culture (2004, Routledge Classics). Bhabha also elaborates on his recent work on temporality and the pandemic, and the afterlives of his concepts such as mimicry, hybridity and third space.  Finally, Bhabha discusses his writing style, and how for him, the affective power of writing is as important as argumentation.
