Venue: Lecture Theatre A, Elisabeth Murdoch Building
Presenters: Professor Haripriya Rangan
Dr. Haripriya Rangan will use a comparison between environmental concerns in India and Australia as a basis for examining the changing meaning of the term ‘environment'. Drawing on research across the Indian Ocean, Professor Rangan will offer a comparative picture of how ‘the environment’ is being shaped by different institutions. This forms the basis for Haripriya’s appeal for further in-depth comparative research on nature, environment, and alternative solutions to environmental problems.
Haripriya Rangan trained in architecture and urban planning in India, and holds a doctoral degree from the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) in urban and regional development. Haripriya has over 20 years of research and teaching experience in universities in the USA and Australia.
Keywords for India:
The series will celebrate and explore the complexity of some of the most important words used by scholars and commentators to understand India, Australia and the relationship between India and Australia by inviting leading thinkers to make keynote addresses on individual words. By focusing on crucially important words -- such as “Power” and “Nation” -- the distinguished contributors to the series will illustrate why words matter, how their significance changes over time, and what they might mean in different contexts. The series will allow speakers to reflect in earnest on the changing connotations of this word, how it is used by different individuals and organisations, and how close consideration of the term might unlock understanding of aspects of India today.
