SUMMARY:ARIN/ASH Summer School on Decolonizing Sustainability Research
DESCRIPTION:15-22 August 2021\nOrganised by the Africa Research & Impact Network and Africa Sustainability Hub\nDeadline for applications: 1 June 2021\n \nFull details (ARIN website) Application form \n\nBackground\nIn the Global South\, ‘coloniality’ has long been associated with political rule over subordinated countries.\n \n1. Struggles for ‘decoloniality’ have evolved from the undoing of colonial rule\, to the even more fundamental challenge of freeing knowledge\, practice\, and culture from deeper worldwide concentrations of incumbent power.\n \n2. In keeping with the more expansive ambitions of the Sustainable Development Goals\, a decolonisation framework thus encompasses some of the most profound and pervasive critiques of globalising structures and their conditioning effects in every setting.\n \n3. Accordingly\, the neglected imperative to ‘decolonise methodologies’ in research and policy appraisal\, embodies some of the most important and intractable challenges in this sustainability – offering crucial opportunities for thinking\, knowing\, and doing alike.\n \n4. The summer school will allow participants therefore to explore how methods for informing policy decisions and wider political debates can enable learning\, enrich knowledge\, enhance practice and nurture more emancipatory outcomes in the Global South.  \nAbout the summer school\nDrawing from the lessons on the Decoloniality of Methods webinar series (practices)\, and book project (theory)\, the summer school will provide a practical opportunity for participants to explore how methods have been (can be) used to inform\, impact and transform policies\, societies and economies. At the end of the training sessions\, the participants will participate in the STEPS methods year workshop\, as part of their post-summer school alumni engagement. The summer school takes into consideration a learner centred approach\, allowing for theory\, practice\, and practical approaches.   \nTarget participants\nThe participants in the summer school will be drawn from multiple stakeholders and sectors\, and will cut across various actor groups of interest to decolonisation of methods\, and valorisation of next generation of practical methods. Specifically the summer school targets PhD students and early career researchers\, policy makers\, and practitioners contributing to sustainability.  \nMethods of delivery\nThe school will bring together acclaimed scholars of the field of sustainability research\, decoloniality\, and methods\, aiming to offer each participant the opportunity to follow:  \n\nRoundtable discussions and lectures  \nJoint lectures every morning delivered by different international scholars \nCase study course sessions delivered by different international scholars \nWorkshop groups in the afternoon to discuss the research projects contributing to Decoloniality of Sustainability Research of each participant addressed to small groups of 10 to 15 participants \n\n\nApplication details\nDeadline: June 1st\, 2021  \nConfirmation of admission to the summer school: July 15th 2021  \nSchool dates: August 15th to 22nd 2021  \nApply online \n

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Old Cities\, New Risks
DESCRIPTION:26 August 2021 at 17.00-18.30 (India time) \nThis Roundtable brought together a panel of experts and key stakeholders to discuss the risks faced by India’s cities in the context of climate change and other uncertainties\, and how to respond to them. \nThe main objective of this Roundtable was to work with the participants to co-create a better understanding of future risks to India’s coastal cities. \nWatch the video \n\n \n  \n\nAbout this event\nDownload a flyer for this event (PDF) \nThe IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) underscores the perils of inadequate infrastructure in coastal metropolises. AR6 highlights the compounded climate extremes that would result in urbanised coastal landscapes facing heavy precipitation in conjunction with “extreme sea level events.” \nSevere sea-level events that previously occurred once in a century\, are now likely to occur on an annual basis. In Mumbai\, cascading factors such as extreme rainfall\, mass-urbanisation\, an impermeable concretised landscape\, and sea-level rise will increase the severity of flooding\, impacting the city’s most vulnerable populaces and the ecosystem services that they depend upon. \nThe TAPESTRY project explores how transformation may arise ‘from below’ in marginal environments with high levels of uncertainty. We look at transformative alliances between actors (local communities\, NGOs\, scientists\, and state agencies) that seek socially just\, and ecologically sound alternatives based on local people’s plural understandings of what transformation entails. These ‘patches’ of transformation have the potential to grow\, influence\, and merge with others. \nThe main objective of this Roundtable is to work with the participants to co-create a better understanding of future risks to India’s coastal cities. \nPanel:\nChandni Singh\, IIHS Bangalore\nHitesh Vaidya\, National Institute of Urban Affairs\nMahua Mukherjee\, IIT Roorkee\nMihir Bhatt\, All India Disaster Mitigation Institute\nSridhar Balasubramanian\, IIT Bombay\nS.
