She is interested in exploring histories of family, community, social protests, colonialism and capital through the lenses of gender, sexuality and law. She is completing her book manuscript, tentatively titled, \u2018Agents of Capital: Widows, Family, Community and Law in Early Colonial India\u2019. It examines relationships of property during the 18th and early 19th century to show that transfers of capital were political concerns involving household, community and state. The book traces the ways in which early colonial law gained shape, and was established as an authority in 18th-century society, by mediating matters of inheritance. It explores how the colonial economy defined property relationships in this period and British interventions through law tethered household and community transactions in its service.\u00a0 One of the core arguments of the book is to show how these 18th-century practices of vernacular capitalism were gendered. The book focuses on the pursuits of female political and commercial actors in the transition to colonial rule. Challenging narratives which cast widows as fragile and marginal victims of culture, this project draws attention to elite and non-elite widows as agentive and entrepreneurial figures who strove to maintain a stake in colonial economy by sourcing capital and support in community spaces, and colonial offices.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this research, Dr. Narayan has begun preliminary research on a second project which is tentatively titled, \u201cThe Politics of Belonging: Family Histories in Vernacular Genealogies and the Colonial Archive in India\u201d. This research will examine the production of genealogy and family history as contingent practices of status formation, negotiation and control in northern India from the 18th to the 20th century.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<section id=\"session3\" class=\"ucf-section ucf-section-ic-conference-session-3 auto-section pt-2 pb-4\" data-section-link-title=\"Session 3\" aria-label=\"Session 3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading-underline\">Session 3:<\/h2>\n<p class=\"lead\"><strong>Date: <\/strong>October 29, 4:00 &#8211; 5:30 p.m.<br \/>\n<strong>Title:<\/strong> <em>The Politics of Security: Gender, Terrorism and Space<br \/>\n<\/em><strong>Moderators:<\/strong> Rochisha Narayan, Rebecca Schiel<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Seema\u00a0Shekhawat<\/strong>, University of Central Florida<br \/>\n<strong>Title:<\/strong> <em>Gender and Security in India\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" col-12 col-md-4 col-lg-3\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"214\" class=\"mx-auto d-block img-fluid size-full wp-image-8288 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/politics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Seema-Shekhawat.jpg\" alt=\"Seema Shekhawat\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/politics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Seema-Shekhawat.jpg 214w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/politics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Seema-Shekhawat-150x150.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 214px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 214\/214;\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" col-12 col-md-8 col-lg-9\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n<p><strong>Biography:\u00a0<\/strong> Shekhawat\u00a0is a social scientist with a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Jammu in India.
