Congratulations to Nandini Das, Professor of Early Modern Literature and Culture, for winning the British Academy Book Prize for Courting India: England, Mughal India and the Origins of Empire.

Professor Das said: "Receiving this award is an honour and a privilege, and I want to thank the panel and the British Academy for it. And I want to thank them even more for bringing together the extraordinary other books and writers from whose work I have learned so much already, with whose approach to the role of the researcher, the writer, to the place of the humanities within our current, fraught cultural discourses, so much of my own thinking resonates. To be considered part of that company is equally an honour."
