Reading list around regenerative futures for Young Adults?
by Pallavi Varma Patil 11 Oct '20

11 Oct '20

Dear all, What fiction / non fiction books or writings would you recommend for young adults to introduce to them the idea of ecological/ solidarity based futures ? Sujit and I have the following ideas but am sure you all have many more and it would be nice to compile a reading list together for children/ young adults. Ours are as follows: 1. 'Year of the Weeds' by Siddhartha Sarma (Very clever and imaginative writing for young adults fictionalising the famous indigenous Niyamgiri struggle against mining ) 2. Daniel Greenberg's 'Free at Last ' about the Sudbury Valley School 3. Entropia: Life Beyond Industrial Civilisation by Samuel Alexander 4. Our own Gandhi Note book to introduce Gandhi to young readers 5. Ela Bhatt's Anubandh and "We are poor but so many". 6. The following chapters in Alternative futures: Ch 35, Looking Back into the Future: India, South Asia, and the world in 2010 ( pp 627-645), and Ch 18: Dare to dream ( pp 326- 340) What else and what more would you recommend to us that can be used as a reading list for Young Adults? Many thanks in advance! Pallavi https://naitaleem.wordpress.com/

An online discussion / debate on current global crises (ISS Dies Natalis 2020)
by Pallavi Varma Patil 09 Oct '20

09 Oct '20

Dear all. Yesterday I watched the live streaming of an event in honour of the 68th Dies Natalis of International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) that also happens to be my alma mater. It was organised in the form of a debate/ discussion / conversation around three global crises of our times today i.e Black Lives Matter, Climate Change, and COVID 19 primarily between Dr. Aminata Cairo, an anthropologist who spoke on the Black Lives Matter movement; Professor Wendy Harcourt ( also a member of this network, PEDAGOG) who spoke about the politics of care and collaborative well being that the crisis of COVID-19 has foregrounded; and Professor Murat Arsel who led a short but fascinating discussion on Climate Change. Here is the link on Youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8T42Vtkk2U&feature=youtu.be ( Please skip the first 15 minutes of ISS music!) The reason why I am advocating for its viewership in this group is that apart from the themes outlined above the speakers, in a very short time, gave us a glimpse of so many underlying sub issues from the limits of the European Green Deal, increasing inequalities and the response from communities, the energy and visibility of Youth Activism, the complicity of voters in voting for governments that aggravate these crisis, a new role of academia, and the need for a new kind of solidarity amongst others. I enjoyed it very much and thought of sharing it with you all as well! Best, Pallavi -- https://naitaleem.wordpress.com/
