Sandipto Dasgupta is Assistant Professor of Politics at the New School for Social Research.
His research is in the history of modern political and social thought, especially the political theory of empire, decolonization, and postcolonial presents. His book, Legalizing the Revolution: India and the Constitution of the Postcolony, is forthcoming in 2024 from the Cambridge University Press.
