> The Association of Young Indian Studies (AJEI) gathers students from
> various academic fields related to social sciences, from MA level to
> postdoctorate, working on South Asia. Every year, the Association
> organizes a one-day seminar in France and a four-day workshop in India
> that brings together young researchers and experienced scholars to discuss
> the work presented by the former. The 14th edition of the workshop will
> take place in Mumbai, from 11th to 15th March 2012 in partnership with the
> Department of Humanities and Social Sciences of the Indian Institute of
> Technology of Bombay (IIT-B). This year, the topic will be Territories,
> Cities and Urban Societies in South Asia.
>
> The 14th workshop of the AJEI proposes to analyze the different aspects of
> urban development in South Asia as well as to bring attention to the
> social consequences of urban management and development. This implies
> taking into account all the main actors and focusing on the case of Indian
> megacities and metropolis, along with small and medium-sized towns. The
> latter are facing an urban dynamic stressing slightly different issues.
> The major themes in focus for the workshop will be: (1) spatial
> transformations and their social implications; (2) urban policies; (3) the
> socio-spatial mobility generated by urban development; (4) the question of
> urban cultures and identities. Papers from a variety of disciplinary
> perspectives (urban planning, economics, geography, sociology, social
> anthropology, public policy, etc.) can rely on one or several of these
> axes. They can either be presented as a localized ethnographic study or as
> a more macroscopic one.
>
> Proposals for papers should be sent either in French or in English before
> 30th November at the following address: ateliers@ajei.org. Each
> presentation (in English) will last 20 minutes. Please mention along with
> your abstract and title, your full name, discipline, level of studies,
> institution of affiliation and research topics.
