Tribal Cosmos: Gaddi Modernization in Dharamsala
Based on fieldwork in Dharamsala, India, the densely touristic home of Tibetan refugees, this presentation addresses how the Gaddi, a local tribe, negotiate rapid urbanization and cosmopolitan practices in what was once a small shepherding stopover. Paralleling recent scholarship on the anthropology of affirmative action, Christopher aims to show the impact of reservation politics and development on tribal social organization and sense of selfhood and belonging.

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
