Rage against the Machine: Individual Rights, Biopolitics in Britain and its Empire: This project is about resistance to state discipline in the 19th century Victorian liberalism asserted the importance of individualism, but those who were not seen as self-sufficient were to be disciplined in institutions such as the workhouse. Reformers and radicals criticized these institutions for reducing people to cogs in the machine, and developed different understandings of individual rights to articulate their critiques. This project looks at workhouses in Ireland, Maori land rights and socialism in New Zealand, the temperance movement in New Zealand and Liverpool, and hospital reform in Bombay and Christchurch.. 2012 - 2017
