  Will Glover came to the International Institute in July 2007, serving as the director of the Center for South Asian Studies. In fall 2009, he assumed the role of associate director of the International Institute. Professor Glover is an associate professor of architecture and teaches courses in architectural history, theory, and design. He is the author of Making Lahore Modern: Constructing and Imagining a Colonial City (University of Minnesota Press, 2008), the winner of the American Institute of Pakistan Studies Junior Book Award. He has also authored several articles exploring the imbrication of built environments, knowledge cultures, and urban processes in colonial settings. Inspired by recent scholarship that explores links between large-scale economic change and the concomitant institutionalization of under conditions of colonial rule, Glover's current research is directed toward understanding the aesthetics of modernization in mid-twentieth-century South Asia.
