SUMMARY:The Real Cost of Tea: Modern Day Slavery in Assam's Tea Gardens
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThe Real Cost of Tea: Modern-Day Slavery in Assam’s Tea Gardens \n  \nSukti Dhital\, a human rights lawyer and Executive Director of Nazdeek\, a legal capacity organization committed to bringing access to justice closer to marginalized communities in India\, will be sharing stories from the ground on the real cost of India’s tea. Through 360 interactive multi-media\, Sukti will walk the audience through Assam’s tea gardens\, highlighting the substandard conditions these workers labor under.  Even though the tea industry is profitable\, its workers are slowly deteriorating under a modern-day feudalism developed by the British and inherited by today’s tea companies.  Based on Nazdeek’s work in partnering with grassroots activists to advance the rights of workers\, the discussion will center on the need for corporate accountability to address human rights abuses and a holistic approach to strengthen efforts for justice. \n  \nAs covered by leading news outlets such as the New York Times\, the Guardian UK\, Al Jazeera\, BBC and Reuters\, despite producing more than 52% of India’s tea\, workers in Assam are the lowest paid in India’s organized sector. Colonial-era labor structures\, faulty trade union practices and corporate greed are responsible for unjust wages\, which are against the Constitution\, national and international laws. Through the use of national and transnational legal mechanisms\, advocacy campaigns\, and community trainings\, activists and workers are beginning to challenge the colonial structure in Assam. \n  \nPlease join the India China Institute and Nazdeek for an evening to reflect and exchange ideas on how western consumers can join the fight to end modern day feudalism in the gardens. \n  \n-Friday\, December 5\, from 5pm to 6:30 \n  \n-wine/beverages + light snacks served \n  \nwww.nazdeek.org \n  \nwww.facebook.com/nazdeek \n  \ntwitter.com/Nazdeek1 \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Gods\, Power and Common Folks: City and Religion in Kyoto\, Japan
DESCRIPTION:Social Science Bahainvites you to its \n\n\n\nLecture Series LXXX \n\n\n\nEiko Ikegami \n\n\n\non \n\n\n\nGods\, Power and Common FolksCity and Religion in Kyoto\, Japan \n\n\n\n4 pm • 22 December\, 2014 (Monday) • The City Museum\, Durbar Marg\, Kathmandu \n\n\n\nThis lecture is based on Eiko Ikegami’s research over the last 10 years in Kyoto\, the ancient capital of Japan. Professor Ikegami will invite the audience to the breathtaking sights of Japan’s most famous festival\, Gion Matsuri in Kyoto. The Gion festival has been running for a thousand years on an annual basis. In discussing the history and contemporary practices of the festival\, she will unveil significance that has become embedded in the contemporary landscape and civic culture of Kyoto city. \n\n\n\nDrawing on her historical and ethnographic research\, Professor Ikegami will conjure up the Shinto roots of the festival\, and how it became dedicated to a shrine called Yasaka. She will then point out how the Gion festival is more than just a Shinto festivity. The shrine and festival are deeply connected with the development of Kyoto’s spatial layout and the creation and transformation of what it meant for ancient Kyotoites to identify with their sense of being citizens. Even the development of the world-famous traditional courtesan district\, also called Gion\, is related to the history of the Yasaka shrine. \n\n\n\n* * * \n\n\n\nEiko Ikegami (PhD in Sociology\, Harvard University) is Walter A. Eberstadt Professor of Sociology and History at The New School for Social Research in New York. She is the author of The Taming of the Samurai: Honorific Individualism and the Making of Modern Japan and Bonds of Civility: Aesthetic Networks and Political Origins of Japanese Culture\, which won five book prizes in fields\, including the John Whitney Hall Book Prize from the Association for Asian Studies and the Best Book Award in Cultural Sociology from the American Sociological Association. Her current work on civility and aesthetics\, cultures of Japanese capitalism and public spheres in comparative perspectives through network formation includes visualised interactive communications on the internet. Before coming to The New School\, she held positions with Yale University and Nihon Keizai Shinbun (The Japan Economic Journal) in Tokyo. In 2003\, she was elected to the chair of the Comparative and Historical Sociology section of the American Sociological Association. \n\n\n\nThis lecture is co-organised with the India China Institute at The New School in collaboration with the Central Department of Sociology/Anthropology (Tribhuvan University)\, Lasanaa and The City Museum Kathmandu. \n\n\n\nThis is a public event and admission is free and open to all.
