Webinar: Viral Practices, Viral Times: Jugaad as Logistics
Date and Time
Details
This webinar focuses on the ecology of practices known as jugaad — common improvisations and 'workarounds' used differently by elites and subaltern peoples in India. Jugaad ecologies are crucial to social reproduction and to governance, business and management practices, shaping the very logistics of India cities like Mumbai. The session will explore the adaptation of this complex ecology in a post COVID-19 context.
Presented by the Canada India Research Centre for Learning and Engagement and the International Institute of Critical Studies in Improvisation.
