I also want to thank all the homeowners, builders, architects, planners, and mobility experts with whom I had long and engaging discussions about life in builder floors and the predicaments of Delhi.

My M.A. was in South Asia Studies and those who are familiar know that the theories and histories that emerge in this field are India-centric, excluding other parts of the region. The silence from popular “South Asia” scholars on what’s happening in Bangladesh screams loud.

@SnehaAnnavarapu This has been a long-standing issue in professional or practice-based education such as architecture schools. Conversely the restrictions against practicing architects continuing to teach as visiting faculty have also been damaging to the training of young professionals.

Both in #india and in #pakistan 2024 appears to be seeing new thresholds of temperature #globalwarming #heatwaves #climatechange

I was in #MexicoCity a few weeks…it was hot….but not like this 👇👇 & yes water is an increasingly scarce resource. But people are identifying solutions through sustainable interventions.

Always fun to write with @VanickaA !! Check out our most recent collaboration on @ChangeOverTime_ . #oldmaterials and #newmaterialities

[Change Over Time Journal @ChangeOverTime_]

Explore the implications of material choices in architecture and heritage conservation. Our newest 12.1 issue, 'Material Matters,' delves into how materials shape history, identity, and future consequences. Check out a snippet: https://t.co/CXutdcXh7V #MaterialMatters

These were with South Delhi Municipal Corporation

@IndianUrbanist I find it bizarre that much of political lobbying still calls climate change unprecedented!! Is 50 years worth of research not enough of a precedence??

[Manas Murthy @ManasMurthy]

Thank you so much @TurnipRail @AstonHistory @ihr_history for inviting me to this wonderful gathering of scholars!
A very engaging discussion with fellow #PhD, #ECRs on #Automobility #trains and #motorways 🚂🚋🚅🚗🛣️

[OldRailwayAccidents @RWLDproject]

This was this evening - a really great event, and so good to meet #PhD students & #ECRs working on #TransportHistory & #MobilityHistory broadly defined.

We're in good hands!

Thanks to the @ihr_history for its support of this event 👏👍

And how many starchitect firms will drop their drawers to get into the action especially in the collapse of the Saudi Line. And under the auspices of a smart 15 minute city. Again innovation=plunder.

Cycling as work is now open access!

Co-authored with @ManasMurthy we locate cycling at crossroads of anthropology and urban planning to show the interdependence of urban economies, regulation of space, and constraints to everyday mobility @westsyduics

'Climate change ' is now increasingly being used as a tool to dismantle environmental regulation, especially in India.
