SUMMARY:Challenges in Balancing Conservation & Development in Eastern Himalaya
DESCRIPTION:Join the India China Institute and the Environmental Studies program at The New School for an exciting talk on biodiversity conservation and development issues in the Eastern Himalaya. \n\n\n\n“Challenges in Balancing Conservation and Development in Eastern Himalaya\, a Biodiversity Hotspot”\n\n\n\nA public talk by Ganesan Balachander.Discussion moderated by Timon McPhearson\, Assistant Professor of Ecology\, The New School. \n\n\n\nThe Eastern Himalaya is a biodiversity hotspot\, with parts of it declared as UNESCO World Natural Heritage Sites (Kaziranga\, Khanchendzonga\, Manas). Equally rich is the cultural diversity of its multitude ethnic groups. The region is likely to witness rapid economic growth – held back till now due to a long period of neglect\, political instability and conflicts – owing to geopolitical considerations (a long disputed border with China)\, vast potential of hydro electric power for a energy starved country and growing development aspirations of the people. Conventional development models will be unlikely to produce sustained and inclusive growth and are likely to lead to loss of species\, water insecurity and continued ethnic conflicts. To address these problems\, the major research priorities include: \n\n\n\n~ Need for information on occurrence\, extent and distribution of species\, both faunal and floral~ Modeling to ascertain likely impact of climate change (to prepare for adaptation as well as mitigation)~ The value of ecosystem services and factoring this element in policy making and design of project \n\n\n\nThe speaker will address these issues through lessons learned over two decades of research activities and projects in the region. \n\n\n\nGanesan Balachander is Director of the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE)\, Bangalore. ATREE is recognized as amongst the top 20 environmental think tanks in the world (U-Penn survey). Balachander is also currently a member of the Consortium Board of the CGIAR\, a global public sector research organization involved in addressing food insecurity\, poverty\, malnutrition and ecosystem resilience. Earlier\, he was the Representative for South Asia of The Ford Foundation in New Delhi. In a previous career\, before he obtained his doctoral degree in Ecology from Rutgers University with a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard\, he was a Vice President at Citibank\, New York. \n\n\n\nRSVP for the event

SUMMARY:Fourth Interdisciplinary Symposium for Emerging Scholars on India China Studies: New York
DESCRIPTION:The Fourth Interdisciplinary Symposium for Emerging Scholars on India China Studies is part of the India China Institute’s continuing commitment to build a community of scholars who are engaged in research that focuses on new and innovative approaches to understanding India-China relations.Presenters selected for this symposium share a broad interest in India-China relations in a globalizing world. The symposium will provide a platform for a select group of early career scholars from India\, China\, and the United States to present their work and to participate in multi-disciplinary investigation and deliberation with distinguished scholars. \n\n\n\nWhen discussing the work of each of the presenters\, we hope to identify relevant methodological and substantive questions\, and where possible answers\, through a productive confrontation of diverse disciplinary perspectives. Relevant cross-cutting themes will include that of the role to be played by received and privileged spatial and institutional frames\, such as that of the nation-state\, in scholarly analyses within the field\, and that of how to relate historical and contemporary concerns while avoiding anachronistic fallacies. \n\n\n\nWe hope that the symposium will provide a milestone in the intellectual definition and institutional development of the field\, enhance the sense of community within it\, and help to foster more productive directions for teaching and scholarship. \n\n\n\nThe Fourth Interdisciplinary Symposium for Emerging Scholars on India China Studies is generously supported by The Starr Foundation. Co-sponsored by the interdisciplinary programs in Global\, Urban\, and Environmental studies at The New School. \n\n\n\n** Download a copy of the full program here [PDF] or just the program schedule here [PDF]. \n\n\n\nEvent Schedule\n\n\n\nThursday\, April 16\, 2015 | Orozco Conference Room (#712)66 W 12th Street\, 7th Floor\, New York \n\n\n\n9:00-9:30 Registration (refreshments\, coffee and tea will be provided) \n\n\n\n9:30-9:45 Welcome and Opening Remarks \n\n\n\n9:45-12:45 Session I: Flows and Exchanges \n\n\n\nChair: Jianying Zha\, Writer and Former ICI China Representative \n\n\n\n(Paper 1) Yang Lu\, Lecturer\, Heidelberg University\n\n“Ontological Security and India-China Relations: From Border War to ‘News War’”\n\n(Paper 2) Jingfeng Li\, Assistant Researcher\, Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences\n\n“Driving force and constraints behind BCIM Economic Corridor”\n\n(Paper 3) Amen Jaffer\, Assistant Professor\, Sociology\, Forman Christian College\, Lahore\n\n“The Sufi Shrine Revival in India Punjab”\n\n(Paper 4) Marina Kaneti\, PhD Candidate\, Politics\, The New School for Social Research\n\n“Leveraging Capital: Trade\, consumption\, and migration in the age of the unequal treaties”\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscussantsAshok Gurung\, Senior Director\, ICI and Professor of Practice\, Julien J.

SUMMARY:New Urban Forms\, New Fields of Inquiry Conference: China and India
DESCRIPTION:New Urban Forms\, New Fields of Inquiry: China and India will explore new ways of looking at the interplay of the conceptual and the material in studies of urban India and China. A collaborative and exploratory field-building exercise\, this conference will pursue alternatives to theories of social science and design that sometimes draw upon universalist and/or linear assumptions about processes such as capitalism\, urbanization\, and modernity. Instead\, our conference participants\, many of whom have engaged in ethnographic\, interpretive\, or other qualitative approaches to urban forms and processes\, will pursue new concepts and expose areas of future inquiry based on their work on urban and urbanized spaces of China and India. ICI believes that a conference engaging scholars committed to theorizing from careful\, contextualized studies of Chinese and Indian cities has the potential to create new fields of inquiry. Please check back for updates on logistical information about this conference. \nKeynote Speaker: \nTerry McGee \nProfessor\, Former DirectorInstitute of Asian ResearchUniversity of British Columbia

SUMMARY:Explorations on the Asian Urban Edge
DESCRIPTION:The India China Institute is excited to announce a keynote talk by Terence McGee as part of the two-day New Urban Forms\, New Fields of Inquiry conference at The New School. \n\n\n\n“Explorations on the Asian Urban Edge: Untangling Issues of Comparative Research on Urbanization in China\, India and Southeast Asia”\n\n\n\nA Public talk by Professor Terence McGee\, University of British ColumbiaWelcome remarks by Provost Tim Marshall \n\n\n\nApril 17th\, 6-8pmWollman Hall\, 5th floor65 West 11th St.\, NYThe New School \n\n\n\nIn the last sixty years\, Professor McGee has researched Indian international migration\, Malays rural-urban migration to Kuala Lumpur\, street vendors in Manila\, Jakarta\, Bangkok\, Penang and Hong Kong. His work has focused on the urban margins of Asian cities located within the diverse trajectories of urbanization in China\, India and Southeast Asia. His address will focus on four main questions. \n\n\n\n~What is the “urbanization problematique” in the 21st century?~How can context and theory intermesh to reinterpret urbanization at different spatial scales–local\, national\, regional and global?~What role does the comparative study of urbanization play in understanding urbanization at these various territorial scales?~What are the consequences of strategic research themes for the comparative research on urban China and India? \n\n\n\nTerence McGee has conducted research on urbanization and development in Asia for more than fifty years. He is the author of numerous influential books\, monographs and articles on urbanization question in Southeast Asia\, China and Latin America. He has also led several influential projects on urban development and the effects of environmental change on mega-urban regions. He was Director of the Institute of Asian Research at the University of British Columbia (1978-88\, 1993-98) as well as Professor of Geography (1978-2001). He was awarded the distinguished Vautrin Lud International Prize in Geography in 2009 for his contributions to development geography. \n\n\n\nRSVP information coming soon
