Did you know that Q is a woman? I didn't. And @helenwarrell has been hanging out with her. Such a fascinating piece about Britain's most powerful female spies ft.com/content/741772c0-ee76…

A delight to do a keynote and engage with the emergent generation of young South Asianists @Princeton earlier this month. A rare thoughtful call for papers elicited excellent contributions. Congratulations to @PrincetonPIIRS
