SUMMARY:Environmental Studies Talk
DESCRIPTION:Title of the Talk: "Explaining coexistence in trees\, examining wildlife in human-modified landscapes and assessing forest recovery: an illustration of three ways of “seeing” the Natural World" \nSpeaker: Dr. Akshay Surendra\, Learning Support Fellow\, Postgraduate Program in Wildlife Biology & Conservation\, National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS-TIFR)\, Bangalore Doctoral Candidate\, School of the Environment\, Yale University \nAbstract: “Ecology is the science of the obvious\, wildlife conservation is a crisis discipline\, and a bunch of laws govern management of India’s forests. These three vastly different lenses attempt to ‘see’ the same natural world. How are they different? In this talk\, I will show rather than tell you about these three different ways of seeing nature. As an ecologist\, I illustrate how dozens of tree species coexist in rainforests. As a conservation scientist\, I will shed light on birds changing over time within fragmented forests and people’s perception of conflict with different species of wildlife. In collaboration with the Forest Department\, I will report how forests have changed with timber extraction. In the end\, I will leave you with my attempts at building capacity to bridge these three ways of seeing Nature.” \nWe look forward to your active participation. \nWarm Regards\, \nEnvironmental Studies Department\, Ashoka University

SUMMARY:Economics Department Weekly Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Dear All\, \nThe Department of Economics invites you to their weekly seminar on Wednesday\, October 16th\, 2024. \nTime: 1:40 PM to 2:50 PM \nVenue: Zoom \nSpeaker: Asha Sundaram (Joint work with Jose Asturias (US Census Bureau)\, Marco Sanfilippo (U Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto)) \nTitle: " Foreign Direct Investment\, Geography and Welfare" \nAbstract: We study the impact of FDI on domestic welfare using a model of internal trade with variable markups that incorporates intranational transport costs. The model allows us to disentangle the channels through which FDI affects welfare. We apply the model to the case of Ethiopian manufacturing\, finding gains from the presence of foreign firms in the local market and other connected markets in the country. FDI resulted in a modest worsening of allocative efficiency because foreign firms have higher markups.  We report consistent findings from our empirical analysis\, using microdata on firms\, FDI\, and geospatial data on the road network. \nWe look forward to having you with us. \n  \n– \nRegards \nDepartment of Economics \nAshoka University \nWeb: www.ashoka.edu.in \n

SUMMARY:TODAY 1.40PM | Third Lecture in Ashoka History Monsoon Seminar Series 2024
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThis paper argues for a paradigm shift in which to consider the position of exiles and renegades in Portuguese Asia. Many factors make it difficult to insist on these being marginal and disreputable categories. I suggest that locating the Portuguese empire between narrowly defined categories of ‘official’ and ‘private’ and the drawing of sharp boundaries of areas and concerns lying within and those standing outside state purview has placed serious limitations on our understanding. My study of the Portuguese presence in Bengal and Arakan is an effort to study a region of the Portuguese empire in Asia\, not as an alternative model of  governance but as one typical of early modern times. \nBIO: \nRadhika Chadha is Associate Professor in the Department of History\, Miranda House. She received her PhD in History from Jawaharlal Nehru University. She has been Fellow\, Fundaçao Oriente\, Lisbon. Her academic interests include medieval Islamic empires\, the history of early modern India\, the visual culture of medieval and early modern South Asia and Gender. Her book\, Merchants\, Renegades\, Padres: Portuguese Presence in Early Modern Bengal\, is forthcoming from Primus Books.
