PEI Faculty Seminar: “Eco-Swarāj: Can India Achieve Environmental Self-Rule?”
Meera Subramanian, the 2019-2020 Currie C. and Thomas A. Barron Visiting Professor in the Environment and the Humanities in the Princeton Environmental Institute, will present “Eco-Swarāj: Can India Achieve Environmental Self-Rule?” This event will be held online via Zoom webinar — register online in advance to receive a webinar link.
Subramanian, an environmental journalist, will explore India’s environmental future through the stories of the people documented in her book A River Runs Again who are determined to revive their landscape and improve their lives. Drawing on her travels across the country, she will discuss whether their work can help India create a new model for sustainable development at home and for the world, and if their work can survive in a faltering democracy.
Anu Ramaswami, the Sanjay Swani ’87 Professor of India Studies, professor of civil and environmental engineering and the Princeton Environmental Institute, will lead a discussion and Q&A with Subramanian after the main presentation.
