your note 'Can we collectively search for frameworks and

I'd love to organise a seminar series, wherever in the

location. It could also be interesting to situate myself
with a department as a Visiting Fellow, wherever a

Dear Rosalyn (thanks, Ashish, for forwarding),�
<div><br>
<div>Your work sounds really intriguing and important!�
I'm a physicist working on a transdisciplinary,
justice-centred climate pedagogy, with insights from
experiences of indigenous people.� I'm also interested
in the ontological issues around climate change,
especially as articulated in Indigenous futurisms, and
as a speculative fiction writer.� I've read some Haraway
and Barad, although not an expert by any means.� I will
look through the link you included in your email to
Ashish.� I'll also think about names of scholars in
India who might be helpful (I'm based in the US although
my focus with regard to community experiences of climate
change is India).� My friend Nagraj, copied here, is
based in Delhi and will, I am sure, be able to suggest
something.� I suspect there will be many scholars in
India interested in hearing from you about your work -
once I have a better idea of it, I will write back with
suggestions.�</div>

<p>Dear Rosalyn, <br>
</p>
<p>thanks for your mail ... I am connecting you two
forums, Teachers Against Climate Change, and the
South Asia Peoples Action on Climate Crisis
(SAPACC), that I think would be ideal for your
purpose ... and through them and pehraps in
collaboration with Vikalp Sangam process (<a
class="x_x_moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.vikalpsangam.org" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">www.vikalpsangam.org</a>)
if necessary, there could be some events like what
you suggest below ... Nagaraj, Vandana, Soumya,
Sagar, marked here, should be able to suggest more.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Climate is really not my area of work in any
specific way, so its best you discuss with them ...
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>generally on the issue of what you call
cosmopolitics, the attached may be of use ... our
work has been on such issues, which are of course
linked to climate crisis (what is not?), but not
directly or explicitly so.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>

<p>thanks, <br>

I am a scholar of environmental anthropology at
University College London and will be visiting
India early 2021. Although my regular fieldsite is
Latin America, I am looking to learn about and
collaborate with colleagues working on similar
issues to myself in India, expanding research

creating a cosmopolitics of climate change. Your

I am currently working on Creating a Cosmopolitics
of Climate Change, and have published a volume on
perceptions of climate change among diverse Latin
American indigenous communities, dealing with
whether they consider we are at 'the end of the
world', how worlds have ended before, and whether
new worlds are possible. Indigenous communities
are as I�m sure you`re aware employing non-modern
worlding practices as powerful forms of activism
against extractivist projects; my work lies
loosely within the political ontology school,
proposing we view contrasting cosmological
currents interacting in cosmoscapes.
