In this episode of AHR Interview, consulting editor Kate Brown speaks with historian Taymiya Zaman about her essay “Cities, Time, and the Backward Glance,” which appears in the June 2018 issue. Zaman’s piece is the first contribution to a new section of the journal called “History Unclassified,” which will explore things that would not normally be found in our articles category—stories from the archives, unexpected connections between fields, discussions of new methods, or trials of new forms of writing and presentation. For more on “History Unclassified,” including how to submit, see https://academic.oup.com/ahr/pages/history_unclassified.Taymiya Zaman is a historian of Mughal India and South Asia. She is Associate Professor of History at the University of San Francisco as well as a writer of both narrative non-fiction and fiction.
