Dr. McQuade completed his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge as a Gates Scholar, with a dissertation that examined the origins of terrorism in colonial India from an international perspective. This research forms the basis of his first book, A Genealogy of Terrorism: Colonial Law and the Origins of an Idea, will be published by Cambridge University Press in November 2020. His postdoctoral research at the University of Toronto examines how digital platforms have been used to mobilize vigilante violence in India and Myanmar from the 1990s to the present. His broader research and teaching interests include critical genealogies of terrorism, international relations in Asia, and the global history of political violence.

This event is an Asian Legal History Seminar organised by the Faculty of Law and the Department of History.
