  • About

    Ananda Burra is a candidate for dual Ph.D. and J.D. degrees in history and law at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on early 20th-century international law and its relationship with imperial forms of power. He is interested in tracking the development of anticolonial legal subjectivities between 1920 and 1955, as colonized peoples used international forums to frame a rights-based critique of colonial rule. His dissertation will trace the creation of transnational publics that articulated new forms of international protests.
