SUMMARY:ONLINE | Seminar Series: Flows\, Infrastructure\, Citizenship in India and China (Feb. 27 - Mar. 10)
DESCRIPTION:Opening Dialogue\n\n\n\n\n\nFlows\n\n\n\n\n\nInfrastructure\n\n\n\n\n\nCitizenship\n\n\n\n\nHosted by: Sarandha Jain \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLabor flows in from distant lands for the construction of a dam. The dam obstructs the flow of a river. The dam creates refugees\, who flow across borders\, in search of new citizenship. Airports are necessitated by the flow of people and things. Alongside passports and digital identities\, they also control the flow of people and things. Canals and bridges generate flows. Authorities managing them restrict the same flows\, also invoking proof of citizenship. Street hawkers and carts obstruct the flow of road traffic. They also create flows of people\, money\, and things. Public and private authorities managing circulatory infrastructures and flows such as roads\, transportation\, water supply\, energy provision\, and suchlike\, demand proof of citizenship and identity by residents/commuters to access them. These disparate images reflect varying interplays between flows\, infrastructure\, and citizenship. \n\n\n\nSeveral inquiries are possible about this tripartite arrangement between them. This dialogue series explores the many ways in which they encounter each other\, and what those co-arrangements mean for the evolving nature of the state. How do flows of people\, objects\, and natural substances facilitate and/or obstruct the constructions of infrastructure\, and vice versa? How do these flows relate similarly with constructions of citizenship? In other words\, what is the meaning of flows to both\, infrastructure and citizenship\, and to their relationship with each other: i.e.\, how do infrastructures and notions of citizenship coalesce and become useful for each other through flows of people\, objects\, and natural substances? Further\, what infrastructures are created to regulate flows for protecting certain notions and forms of citizenship (documents\, digital identities\, surveillance\, detention centers\, dams\, etc.)? How and when do flows of people\, objects\, and substances escape regulation? What forms of state-citizen relations arise from the state’s attempts at regulating flows and infrastructures\, and their occasional escape from this? This series studies the collective interface between flows\, infrastructures\, and citizenship\, and the structures and systems emerging from this triad\, and created to further cement it. \n\n\n\nIn the last few years\, there has been a renewed investment in policing citizenship in India and China. This has given rise to many new debates\, instituted new systems in these countries\, and new politics have emerged from them. Owing to advancements in technology\, new infrastructural capabilities have been afforded to the governments of these countries for implementing their new designs regarding citizenship and the regulation of flows. Flows\, however\, continue to evade policing and discipline. What can we learn from the current moment by analyzing the ever-evolving encounter between flows\, infrastructures\, and citizenship in India and China? Furthermore\, what has been the evolution in the nature of the state and in its role as an infrastructural state (as provider and as policer) to monitor flows? As the state’s infrastructural nature takes precedence\, through the lens of flows\, this series charts the evolution in the nature of the state\, in the relationship between the state and citizens in India and China\, and between infrastructures and state-citizen relations. \n\n\n\nThis series consists of four dialogues over Spring 2023\, held virtually on zoom. These dialogues are between a scholar of India and another of China\, who work on linked thematics; and are moderated by a third scholar who shares their thematic synergies. The opening dialogue lays the ground for the overall intellectual aims of the series by speaking to all three conceptual and empirical aspects: flows\, infrastructures\, and citizenship\, and how they connect. The following three dialogues\, while still focused on the interface between flows\, infrastructure\, and citizenship\, highlight one of them more\, by inviting scholars of India and China who specialize in flows (for the second dialogue)\, infrastructure (for the third)\, and citizenship (for the fourth). \n\n\n\nOpening dialogue\, Feb 27\, 2023\, 9.30am – 11.00am EST: Townsend Middleton (India)\, Ka Ming Wu (China)\, Sarandha Jain (discussant)Flows\, March 3\, 2023\, 10.00am – 11.30am EST: Ritajyoti Bandyopadhyay (India)\, Yimin Zhao (China)\, Antina von Schnitzler (discussant)Infrastructure\, March 6\, 2023\, 10.00am – 11.30am EST: Sunalini Kumar (India)\, Amy Zhang (China)\, Emma Park (discussant)Citizenship\, March 10\, 2023\, 11.00am – 12.30pm EST: Suraj Gogoi (India)\, Andrew Grant (China)\, Alexandra Delano (discussant) \n\n\n\nThis series is open to the public and audience is not limited to TNS affiliates. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTownsend MiddletonAssociate Professor AnthropologyUNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL \n\n\n\nView Full Bio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKa Ming WuAssociate Professor Cultural and Religious StudiesCHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG \n\n\n\nView Full Bio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRitajyoti BandyopadhyayAssistant ProfessorHumanities and Social SciencesINDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH \n\n\n\nView Full Bio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYimin ZhaoAssistant ProfessorUrban Planning and ManagementRENMIN UNIVERSITY OF CHINA \n\n\n\nView Full Bio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunalini KumarAssociate Professor School of Global AffairsAMBEDKAR UNIVERSITY \n\n\n\nView Full Bio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmy ZhangAssistant Professor\, AnthropologyNEW YORK UNIVERSITY \n\n\n\nView Full Bio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSuraj GogoiAssistant ProfessorSchool of Liberal Arts and SciencesRV UNIVERSITY \n\n\n\nView Full Bio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndrew GrantVisiting ScholarInternational Studies ProgramBOSTON COLLEGE \n\n\n\nView Full Bio \n\n\n\nDiscussants\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarandha JainPostdoctoral FellowINDIA CHINA INSTITUTE \n\n\n\nView Full Bio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAntina von SchnitzlerAssociate Professor of International AffairsTHE NEW SCHOOL \n\n\n\nView Full Bio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmma ParkAssistant Professor of HistoryTHE NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH \n\n\n\nView Full Bio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlexandra Delano AlonsoAssociate Professor of Global StudiesTHE NEW SCHOOL \n\n\n\nView Full Bio

SUMMARY:ONLINE | Flows from Event series: Flows\, Infrastructure\, Citizenship in India and China
DESCRIPTION:Flows\n\n\n\nHosted by: Sarandha Jain \n\n\n\nHow do flows of people\, things\, resources\, natural substances encounter infrastructure\, and what does that do to arrangements of citizenship? How is the state involved in these encounters and arrangements?

SUMMARY:ONLINE | Book Launch: Against NGOs: A critical perspective on Civil Society\, Management\, and Development
DESCRIPTION:Watch Here\n\n\n\nWhat would development look like if its practitioners and scholars were ‘against NGOs\,’ challenging common sense about them? This book presents a critical perspective on NGOs\, describing how they emerged as key agents of development over time. Through an interpretative history based on Gramscian concepts it shows how civil society organizations were gradually enlisted in development as non-state technocratic actors. The book argues that management studies and development studies emerged as commonsensical explanations for capitalist crises. Each offered complementary solutions to balance the needs of capital and society\, in particular historical circumstances. These solutions also situated civil society as agents of development and vectors of management. Against NGOs fills a gap within the literature of management and development studies through its original discussion of their historical interconnections and shared themes. The book raises provocative questions on what forms of knowledge-politics can respond productively to the crises of our contemporary moment. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker/Author\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNidhi Srinivas\n Associate Professor of ManagementMilano School of Policy\, Management\, and Environment THE NEW SCHOOL \n\n\n\nNidhi Srinivas is Associate Professor of Management at Milano School of Policy\, Management\, and Environment.
