Tania Sengupta

Tania Sengupta teaches colonial and postcolonial architecture and built-environment history at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. She currently directs the Bartlett's PhD programme in architectural and urban history and theory. Her work focuses on historical landscapes and continuing legacies of colonialism and imperialism, and questions of race, class and gender-based inequity that stem from these. She is co-curator of the curricular resource ‘Race’ and Space: what is ‘race’ doing in a nice field like the built environment? (2020) and her recent co-edited book Reclaiming Colonial Architecture (2024) looks at the material legacies of colonialism today - such as landscapes, buildings, cities and material culture - and how we might critically understand, narrate and intervene in them today.
