Event Description : LILA PRISM Series. "Slum Communities And Transformative Governance" a talk by Dunu Roy, Director, Hazards Centre  


Introductory Note : The lecture 'Slum Communities and Transformative Governance' is a deliberation on how the strengths of the slum communities can be brought into governance thinking and processes by Dunu Roy. Partha Mukhopadhyay will lead the discussion and moderate the Q&A session.

Abstract : Language is our means of explaining reality. But if it creates images that transpose reality, does the world change, or is it changing our way of transacting with it? The word ‘slum’ is not merely a representation of a settlement, it is loaded with a set of values. If we discard those values and take a closer look, do we see the settlement for what it is, do we begin to perceive the inhabitants differently? Do we get new insights into how they innovate, and intercede? How can the distinct cultures of the viewer and the viewed intersect to provide a more nuanced and dialectical understanding of governance?
