Great Nicobar project - Pankaj Sekhsaria talk April 17
by singhvan＠rcn.com 10 Apr '23

10 Apr '23

Dear All, Please see the attached flier for the upcoming talk by Pankaj Sekhsaria about a massively destructive project in the Nicobar islands. Basic info appended below also. Apologies for cross-posts. Vandana Teachers Against the Climate Crisis (TACC) Welcomes you to the 32nd talk in our series E nacting farce as environmental governance - The story of the Great Nicobar mega infrastructure project Monday, 17 th April 2023 @ 6:00 pm IST By Pankaj Sekhsaria , Associate Professor, IIT Bombay Use the following Zoom link to join. All are welcome. [ https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/97081618519 | https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/97081618519 ] About the talk : In a set of developments that have unfolded with uncharacteristic speed and co-ordination over the last two years, the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) recently cleared the decks for a mega Rs. 72,000 crore infrastructure project in Great Nicobar Island. It involves the construction of a port, an airport, a power plant, and greenfield township in a land and seascape that is extremely rich biologically, is home to indigenous communities that have been living here for thousands of years and is located in the world’s most seismically volatile zone. 130 sq km of pristine tropical forests are to be diverted leading to the cutting down of an estimated one million trees. Central to the forest clearance condition for the project is compensatory afforestation in Haryana located more than 2,000 km away. The presentation will track the history of this project and present an account of the multiple ecological, procedural, and legal violations in allowing for it to be cleared. It raises crucial questions about the viability and relevance of compensating tropical forests by tree plantations in faraway semi-arid ecologies. How is such huge forest loss justified in the era of an intensifying climate crisis? Pankaj Sekhsaria is the author of five books on the Andaman & Nicobar islands including his debut novel The Last Wave (Harper Collins India 2014), Islands in Flux – the Andaman and Nicobar Story (Harper Litmus 2019), a collection of 20 years of his journalism about the islands, and most recently Waiting for Turtles (Karadi Tales 2021), his first book for children. He has a Master’s degree in Mass Communication and a PhD in Science and Technology Studies from the Maastricht University in the Netherlands. He is a long-time member of the environmental action group, Kalpavriksh and currently, Associate Professor, Centre for Technology Alternatives for Rural Areas (CTARA), IIT Bombay. His new books in the broad field of Sociology of Technology include Instrumental Lives: An Intimate Biography of an Indian Laboratory (Routledge 2019) and Nanoscale: Society's Deep Impact on Science, Technology and Innovation in India (Authors Upfront 2020). Format: 45 mins, then Q&A. About the group : Teachers Against the Climate Crisis (TACC) is a non-funded, non-party organization that seeks to promote understanding and engagement about different aspects of the climate crisis among students, teachers, and activists.

Economics for Emancipation curriculum is here!
by nati 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Greetings - I thought the group would be interested in this announcement and no-cost curriculum about Economics and alternatives! A free introductory curriculum on capitalism, solidarity, & how we get free *Economics for Emancipation is here! * A free introductory curriculum on capitalism, solidarity, & how we get free [image: An illustrated graphic with ''Economics for Emancipation'' against a green star backsplash on the top right corner. On the left are four rounded mounds next to each other in yellow green, green, red-orange, and black. From left to right,, there are drawings of a person shouting into a speaker amplifier, a person reading to a group of four children, a clock. Next to those colored mounds is a mountain range with four scenes happening on top of it: a person holding up a rake, a person in a wheelchair, a dog walking, and a person carrying a child.] Hello, The Center for Economic Democracy is excited to launch *Economics for Emancipation (E4E)*, a seven-module introductory curriculum that offers a deep critical dive into the current political economic system, exploration of alternative economic systems, and dynamic tools to dream and build the economy that centers care, relationship, and liberation. *WHAT?* E4E has been shaped by decades of dialogue between progressive economists, grassroots organizers, and rank & file union workers; we hope it will strengthen your analysis, fuel your spirit and connect you to efforts challenging this economic system at its root. Our portal offers free access to the online curriculum materials, which includes 25+ self-guided video lessons, an interactive workbook, and a facilitator guide for the workshops. [image: A giphy of of an animation that ends with the text ''How does it feel to be alive in the solidarity economy?''] <https://click.everyaction.com/k/60186453/396288011/1975050996?nvep=ew0KICAi…> *WHO?* This course was created using a popular education approach that is accessible to organizers, educators, activists, and community members. If you are a member or leader of a grassroots or movement organization, this curriculum was designed to support your organizing work in your community. We recommend that you gather a group of up to 25 people with a lead educator/facilitator to dive into the study and praxis of our course. Individuals can also take the course alone with the videos and interactive workbook. *Visit our site* <https://click.everyaction.com/k/60186454/396288012/-787506205?nvep=ew0KICAi…> *WHY?* COVID has surfaced and emphasized the many failures of our current economic system in meeting the needs of people and the planet. It has also surfaced our ability to create structures of support and solidarity. We have a responsibility as organizers and educators in US-based social movements to bring our people in, move slower and study together. Not because we stop fighting the bad, but because in studying we draw inspiration from ancestors who had similar fights over the centuries and learn from their experiences. We become more strategic thinkers and deepen our analysis of social problems and the possible routes to freedom. *OUR STORY * The current version of this course is the result of many years of work first led by the Center for Popular Economics (CPE) – a collective which was founded in 1979 by radical (or heterodox) economists out of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. They ran a yearly “Summer Institute” for union organizers in New England. Since 2019, CPE has partnered with the Center for Economic Democracy (CED) to update and redesign its curriculum into “Economics for Emancipation” (E4E). During the 2020 COVID crisis, CPE and CED worked to adapt E4E for virtual learning geared towards regional cohorts of just transition and social justice organizers, and thus was born this offering. *ABOUT CENTER FOR ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY* The Center for Economic Democracy (CED) <https://click.everyaction.com/k/60186455/396288013/1404532733?nvep=ew0KICAi…> is a US social movement building organization, growing capacity in our communities to transition from capitalism into a just, sustainable, and democratic economy. Based in Boston, CED supports local racial and economic justice initiatives like the Boston Ujima Project, Coalition for Worker Ownership and Power (COWOP), the Solidarity Economy Initiative and The Better Budget Alliance, while offering training and technical assistance for economic democracy efforts across the US. *ABOUT CENTER FOR POPULAR ECONOMICS* The Center for Popular Economics is a nonprofit collective of political economists based in Amherst, MA out of the University of Massachusetts (UMass). Since our founding in 1979, thousands of people have participated in our workshops and Institutes. Our programs and publications demystify the economy and put useful economic tools in the hands of people fighting for social and economic justice. We examine root causes of economic inequality and injustice including systems of oppression based on race, class, gender, nation and ethnicity. We welcome your suggestions and questions. We would especially love to hear about how you plan to use this curriculum! Contact us at info(a)economics4emancipation.net.
