Fourth Pillar: India Journalism Week

Through December 18, 2018
UChicago Center in Delhi and India International Centre

Academe India and a team of University of Chicago scholars have partnered to launch “Fourth Pillar: 1st India Journalism Week.” This event seeks to affirm the place of journalism as the fourth pillar of Indian democracy, and comes at a time of growing concerns over the rigor, inclusiveness, and independence of journalism – in India as also globally. Given India’s status as the world’s largest democracy, a rigorous, inclusive journalism summit or festival or Week in New Delhi (and subsequently at other locations in India) seemed to make eminent sense.

Workshop on Disentangling Disability and Human Rights

Time TBA
UChicago Center in Delhi

This workshop and conference sets out to challenge the assumption that disability in India should be understood and responded to as a rights-based category. As a (post) development state with transnational political and economic ties, India provides an ideal location to explore how global discourses are taken up, adapted, or rejected as disabled people seek to create worlds for themselves.

2019 Civic Leadership Academy

Through March 8, 2019
UChicago Center in Delhi

The Civic Leadership Academy (CLA) is an interdisciplinary leadership development program for emerging and high-potential leaders in nonprofit organizations and local government agencies within the City of Chicago and Cook County.

CLA was developed by the University's Office of Civic Engagement and Harris Public Policy, in partnership with the University’s other professional schools and the Institute of Politics, as well as Local Initiatives Support Corp. (LISC) Chicago, Civic Consulting Alliance, the City of Chicago, and Cook County. The program is designed to develop a pipeline of talented leaders to help nonprofits and government agencies thrive.
Now in its 5th year, CLA has 119 alumni who are leading agencies and nonprofits that tackle some of the most challenging issues Chicago faces, from transforming neighborhoods to building trust between law enforcement and communities. A brochure with additional information on the program is here.

Following successful visits in 2017 and 2018, the Fellows will again travel to the University of Chicago’s Center in Delhi for a week long global training designed to immerse them in differing perspectives constructed to illuminate civic issues in Chicago and inspire innovative cross-sector collaboration.

Creative Criticality in Colonial and Indigenous Archives

Through April 23, 2019
UChicago Center in Delhi

As the discipline of postcolonial studies has expanded beyond nationalist frameworks of analysis, new paradigms have emerged for understanding the cultural and political agency of minority, indigenous, and otherwise subordinated people. This workshop proposes to investigate such paradigms of cultural agency in a comparatist framework, bringing together a conversation about how writers, artists, and scholars are engaging colonial and indigenous archives in the contexts of the Americas, South Asia, and Australia in bold, daring, and creatively agential ways. In this regard, the central question that this workshop proposes to ask is: how do the contents of these archives change when cast in the forms of alternative, indigenous, and minoritized knowledge systems. Over the course of two days, participants will engage this problem of the archive via reconsiderations of such topics as caste-class-race divides, translation, alternative historicities/pasts/temporalities, global indigeneity, and archival technology. These participants will represent a broad range of regional knowledge-bases, including scholars from Kolkota, Bangalore, Dhaka, Nepal, Australia, and the Americas (North America, Mexico, and Central America).
