DESCRIPTION:As part of our online interview series for The Textile Museum J
 ournal\, contributing scholar Dorothy Armstrong explores two Punjabi carpet
 s and the networks of colonialism and capitalism that influenced their prod
 uction. Both carpets were made in the final decades of the 19th century but
  under very different conditions: one in an independent commercial factory 
 and the other in a British government jail. Dr. Armstrong examines these ca
 rpets as objects shaped by their makers\, as maps of global connections in 
 a time of great change and as reflections of contrasting power dynamics in 
 production.\n\nThrough her research\, Dr. Armstrong aims to reveal the cont
 entious and conflicting landscape of carpet production in late 19th-century
  Punjab. She also considers the challenges of studying carpets using a glob
 al historical perspective\, addressing issues around sources\, pre-existing
  biases and research methods.
