@ProfSrilaRoy and you take this as a win? So, students shouldn't know about the contributions of past thinkers who have made monumental contributions to the development of theory and more importantly, practice?

@ranjithoskote @seagullbooks Gorgeous cover!

And here it comes - To Break and To Branch, my first book with @seagullbooks , a collection of the six essays that I wrote on my dear friend Gieve Patel's art over a nearly twenty-year period, with a new personal essay as a framing Introduction, a dedication in remembrance. This book will be launched at @kgafest on 25th January and at @jaipurlitfest on 2nd February, then at the Goa Art & Literature Festival in mid-February. Many many thanks to the fantastic @naveenatseagull , @SunandiniBee , Bishan Samaddar & Diven Nagpal at Seagull!

@ranjithoskote @seagullbooks Congratulations! How may we order some for our library and personal collection?

@nagging_citizen @EASA unique initiative!

Please think of submitting or attending this! The last #Ethnographic Salon at EASA Belfast was just too much fun! @EASA

@ranjithoskote Superb!

We have been looking deep into Gieve's wells, these last couple of days. Gieve Patel, selected paintings from the 'Wells' series - exhibited at the survey exhibition, No Parsi is an Island: A Curatorial Re-reading across 150 Years (curated by Nancy Adajania & Ranjit Hoskote, NGMA Bombay, 2013-2014). @mumbai_ngma

Gieve Patel, poet, artist, lover of beauty in its many forms and guises, annual poet in residence at Rishi Valley for decades, is no more. Heartfelt condolences to Avaan. Will miss his annual visits, poetry workshops with our young students, art talks that held us spellbound.

Disgusting comments by an army of trolls and uninformed westerners who choose political correctness over investigation and understanding. This the state of the woke world we inhabit today, quick to judge and dismiss with a swiftness they have not shown otherwise...

This is for the "real humans" amidst the army of bots + trolls behind this latest smear campaign against His Holiness. Take time to read, listen + reflect on the socio-political and cultural contexts behind this interaction before jumping to hurtful conclusions

@r_gov11 YES!

Loss and damage is a big conversation at COP27. Rich countries are responsible for 90% of the excess emissions that are causing climate breakdown. Social movements in the global South are rightly demanding compensation for the damage this is causing. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@divkan1 this introduction is very good, and a must read for every student of the sociology of schooling

In the intro, Sarada Balagopalan provides a nuanced conceptual framing of the "subaltern student" within a longer history of modernity, childhood and the democratization of schooling: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

R.Maithreyi (KHPT) & I are excited to share our co-edited @ChildrensGeogs special issue on Modernity, Schooling, and Childhood in India: Trajectories of Exclusion. Due to Covid-related delays, the papers have appeared individually for now and will be put together soon. Here goes:

@divkan1 @ChildrensGeogs Excellent collection. Congratulations ! Hope to read all the articles very soon, thanks for the rich insights and much needed gaze on the 'subaltern student' and 'marginal child'...

@nat_habit I made a payment on 19th December 2021, of Rs 1055/- for your renowned products. Please confirm my order as soon as possible. I am waiting for the shipment. I am disappointed by your lack of organisation in confirming payment orders and expediting shipment.

@sheelasinharoy can't believe this, 'not upto the similar level to men'...does Reviewer 1 have any clue about what agency really is?

Good morning to everyone except Reviewer 1, who said that our paper on women's empowerment did not have scientific value and wrote, "In my opinion, women agency can be increased, but not up to the similar level to men."

Impermanence...
