Leigh Denault recently completed her PhD on the social, cultural and legal history of the family in colonial North India at the University of Cambridge ('Publicising Family in Colonial North India, c. 1780-1930). She graduated from Mount Holyoke College with an AB magna cum laude in history in 2001, and worked as a research intern at the Smithsonian Museum of American History from 2001-2002. In addition to a monograph based on her PhD, Leigh’s current research focuses on conceptions of social welfare in twentieth-century India, and the development of private-sector welfare and insurance organisations and their evolution alongside voluntary service associations and the welfare provisions of the colonial, and later independent Indian state. Leigh has also been interested in the ways in which new media are transforming historical research and access to sources, an interest that began as an undergraduate at Mount Holyoke, where she trained as a Mellon Web Technician and became interested in issues related to source digitization. Alongside an interest in North Indian languages and print cultures, she has started to explore some of the issues surrounding the digitization of South Asian historical sources.
