The Creative Lives project website hosted by Monash University will feature timely conversations with prominent writers. It will reveal the nascence of their writing careers, their inspirations past and present, their creative processes, passions, interests and world-view. It aims to illuminate the writers’ worlds as well as their art. This South Asian Diaspora International Researchers’ Network (SADIRN) project will publish monthly in 2018 and beyond. Its goal is to enhance collaboration between SADIRN members, to extend SADIRN’s public profile, and to support creative writing research. This venture is co-directed by Associate Professor Chandani Lokugé (Monash University, Australia) and Susheila Nasta (The Open University, UK). Dr Alexandra Watkins is Project Manager, assisted by Chris Ringrose and Maryam Mirza.

The Cambridge History of Black and Asian British Writing provides a comprehensive historical overview of the diverse literary traditions impacting on this field's evolution, from the eighteenth century to the present. Drawing on the expertise of over forty international experts, this book gathers innovative scholarship to look forward to new readings and perspectives, while also focusing on undervalued writers, texts, and research areas. Creating new pathways to engage with the naming of a field that has often been contested, readings of literary texts are interwoven throughout with key political, social, and material contexts. In making visible the diverse influences constituting past and contemporary British literary culture, this Cambridge History makes a unique contribution to British, Commonwealth, postcolonial, transnational, diasporic, and global literary studies, serving both as one of the first major reference works to cover four centuries of black and Asian British literary history as well as a compass for future scholarship.

This book charts a visual history of South Asian Britain from 1858 to the present. Written by Susheila Nasta and compiled with Florian Stadtler, it figures Britain's first Asian MPs and suffragettes as well as documenting the often forgotten histories of the working-classes: the lascars and ayahs settled in Britain from the mid nineteenth century and before. This book opens a window on to the complexity and depth of the South Asian presence in Britain offering new archival material drawn from a range of repositories in the UK, the US and South Asia. The visual images are accompanied by a narrative explicating the main historical moments and figures.
