Dr Srishti Guha

Srishti is a cultural historian with a particular focus on the visual cultures of Australia, India, and the British Empire. Her doctoral research was a transcolonial study of visual culture and iconography in India and Australia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. More recently, she has taken a keen interest in digital humanities methods and analysing ways in which digitisation has changed the visual archive, particularly when working with sensitive images of indigenous peoples. Working with and foregrounding visual historical sources remains the central theme of Srishti's research interests.

Affiliated with the Purai Global Indigenous History Centre, Srishti has also held various research and teaching roles at the School of Humanities and Social Science, University of Newcastle. She holds First Class Master of Arts and Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degrees in History, and a Certificate in Editing and Publishing from Jadavpur University, India. She is also an accredited member of Professional Historians Australia (PHA).
