Engineered land: terrestrial imaginaries and realities (WUR)

Research and Development
Jan 15 2022 to Dec 31 2023

Funded by Wageningen University, Netherlands

The project focuses on the study of narrative around infrastructure in the Brahmaputra river-scape and valley. Focusing on the proposed Jorhat-Majuli bridge connecting the island geography of Majuli with Jorhat, the study represents the border themes of struggles to protect land against the encroaching water through engineering interventions and infrastructural plans, as well as of the multiple meanings and values attached to (artificial engineered or other)islands and forms of coastal terrestrialization.

Examining nature-society relations through urban infrastructure

Research and Development
Jun 01 2021 to Dec 31 2022

Funded by KTH Royal Institute of Technology

In this project we will examine the relationship between moves away from modernist infrastructure and moves away from modernist ideas of nature. Our starting point is that understanding the tensions between different ideals and infrastructural configurations will be crucial for developing socially just and resilient infrastructure trajectories. We will focus on the narratives people tell about the relations of nature, society and infrastructure.

Climate Change: The appalling truth | Anamika Barua | TEDxIITGuwahati

Anamika Barua
Mar 27 2019 to Mar 29 2019

Funded by TedX IIT Guwahati

In spite of the undeniable imminence of climate change and the ecological balance it will thus disturb - risking the very quotient of existence for many species - less than half the world is truly aware of it. Until now we’ve been battling issues which are taboo, but have no reason to be so. But there are certain topics and behaviors in society which should, in fact, be condemned and treated as taboo, such as ignorance and nonchalance towards climate change and environment. Anamika Barua, an Associate Professor of Ecological Economics at IIT Guwahati, is a keen enthusiast of emerging topics of water security, ecological footprint and trans-boundary water governance in an uncertain and changing world. Particularly, she sincerely believes in the reality of adverse climate change and its undeniable imminence. In the concept of the omnipresent taboos she sees an opportunity to give birth to a series of limiting rules, which can help hinder us in our incessant endeavor to harm the environment. When executed today, these set of rules can become the basis of awareness among people tomorrow, due to the unquestionable belief enjoyed by any generic taboo. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
