About Adil Hasan Khan

I am a jurist and legal scholar working in the fields of jurisprudence, legal history, inter-national laws and human rights. I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Laureate Research Program on Global Corporations and International Law at Melbourne Law School. My overall research seeks to examine different traditions and modalities of legal education and to describe and recover repertoires of training in living well with authority, with others, and their laws, as well as describe and making visible repertoires of training in living poorly with authority and crafting legal relations. My focus is on the practice and transmission of these traditions in pre-colonial Hindustan, colonial British India, and postcolonial South Asia during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries respectively. As part of the program on Global Corporations and International Law, I am writing a monograph on the emergence of a training for/of managers within the institution of indirect rule in mid-19th century British India, and its different transmissions and receptions into the present and what modalities of exercises of authority it has enabled.
