Jessica Hinchy is an Assistant Professor of History at Nanyang Technological University. Jessica's research focuses on the intersection of empire, gender, and sexuality. In this episode, we speak with Jessica about her new book, Governing Gender and Sexuality in Colonial India. Jessica's book focuses on the Hijra, a discipleship-based gender nonconforming community in India. Among other things, her work traces the British colonial state's campaign to eradicate the Hijra in the late 19th century, raising wider questions about the nature and motivations of colonial sexual regulation.
