 The Political Lives of Information: Information and the Production of Development in India

Time: 1:00 - 2:00 PM
Where: IAB 801
Co-sponsors: South Asia Association, South Asia Institute, TMaC Specialization

Information has fundamentally reshaped development discourse and practice. In this study, Dr. Janaki Srinivasan examines the history of the idea of “information” and its political implications for poverty alleviation. She presents three cases in India—the circulation of price information in a fish market in Kerala, government information in information kiosks operated by a nonprofit in Puducherry, and a political campaign demanding a right to information in Rajasthan—to explore three cases of information to support goals of social change. Countering claims that information is naturally and universally empowering, Srinivasan shows how the definition, production, and leveraging of information are shaped by caste, class, and gender.

 Political, Economic and International Consequences of the 2022 Italian Elections
When: Wednesday, September 28, 2022
Time: 4:10 - 5:10 PM
Location: IAB 404
Elections took place on September 25 in the 3rd-largest EU economy, potentially having consequences far beyond its borders. With infamously unstable political leadership, a fragile economy, high government debt, and unemployment, another unclear outcome could lead to mayhem in Europe. In another scenario, a clear mandate for the right-wing coalition would mean a huge boost for the non-traditional, EU-critical right-wing parties.
These all prove the importance of the Italian elections, and as a result, CEUSA will host a talk with Professor Carlo Invernizzi Accetti, an expert on European politics to better understand the potential consequences of this important political event.
