DESCRIPTION:Also on Teams.\n\nHow do fishers and scientists read the uncer
 tain terrain of the city in the sea? What stories does the urban sea hold 
 for the futures of the city? I begin this talk by examining how fishers in
  Mumbai read the sea for fish\, the warming waters of climate change and u
 rban coastal pollution in their everyday work.  By orienting their daily p
 ractices around the arts of noticing sea color\, wind\, tide and time\, fi
 shers generate their livelihoods in uncertain waterscape. Next\, I focus o
 n the work of scientists that eagerly walk and work the city’s urban sea
 s to apprehend the movement of contaminants\, marine life\, climate warmed
  currents and cyclones.  Where citizen scientists working in intertidal re
 gions orient their research around tides\, oceanographers working with mod
 els and remote sensing images see the climate crisis in ongoing algal bloo
 ms\, rising seas and eutrophication events that occur at different tempora
 l and spatial scales. Dwelling in the ways that fishers and scientists rea
 d the urban sea\, I argue that the ongoing rhythms of coastal pollution\, 
 infrastructure construction\, and colonial property-making constitute the 
 climate of the urban sea in Mumbai\; a climate that continues to be made b
 y the colonial expropriation of lifeworlds through the relentless making o
 f property and real estate in the city. \nSpeakers:\nNikhil Anand (UPenn)

DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://forms.office.com/r/HdK4Lu3wF3 \n\nIn th
 is talk\, Prof Nikhil Anand will examine the making of Mumbai’s Coastal 
 Road Project. How might we account for the production of a highway in a cl
 imate changed city\, one that it is situated on made-up land that fills an
  increasingly restive\, rising sea? Thinking with Amitav Ghosh’s The Gre
 at Derangement (2016)\, Prof Anand will draw attention to the interests\, 
 aesthetics and technologies with which the road and is made durable. He wi
 ll argue that Mumbai Coastal Road is not made with “rational” plans\, 
 designs and studies of urban infrastructure.  It is mobilized by the aesth
 etics of modernity (Ghertner 2015) and particular “habits of thought” 
 (Benedict 1934) that privilege\, valorize and assume the possibility of bo
 urgeois regularity in the city\; a deeply felt orientation and mode of int
 ervening in the world that continues to produce the climate crisis\, both 
 in Mumbai and beyond.\n\nThis is a joint event by the Oxford India Centre 
 for Sustainable Development and the India-Oxford Initiative.\n\nSpeakers:\
