SUMMARY:Book Launch · “Infrastructure Policy and Inequality” by Michael A. Cohen
DESCRIPTION:The Observatory on Latin America presents the book launch: Infrastructure Policy and Inequality\, by Michael Cohen \nWelcoming Remarks: \nJoel Towers\nPresident\, The New School \nBook Presentation: \nMichael Cohen\nDirector of the Doctoral Program in Public and Urban Policy\, The New School \nDiscussants: \nAromar Revi\nDirector\, Indian Institute for Human Settlements \nSakiko Fukuda-Parr\nProfessor of International Affairs\, The New School \nNidhi Srinivas\nProfessor of Management\, The New School \n  \nSeptember 24\, 2024\n6:00 pm – 8:00 pm\nWollman Hall\, Fifth Floor\, Room B500\,\n65 West 11th Street\, New York \nRegister here* \n*This is an in-person event. Please RSVP by clicking on the red RSVP button on the linked page. \n  \nThis book reframes the purpose of infrastructure from being an input to economic growth to becoming a major instrument in reducing socio-economic inequalities in both industrialized and developing countries. \nPer Michael\, this book surveys infrastructure policies and performance over several decades\, drawing on global and national lessons of COVID-19 and extensive working experience in 55 countries. “It reviews the World Bank’s experience launching a 30-year program to alleviate urban poverty through 7\,000 projects. It shows that many significant policy changes have improved global urban policies adopted by national and local governments\, yet they have failed to significantly address and reduce intra-urban inequalities.” \nIt suggests that the “underperformance” of infrastructure could be improved by paying more attention to users and the demand side\, thereby contributing to overcoming many obstacles facing low-income communities worldwide. \n

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Towards A New Urban Practice
DESCRIPTION:In 2022\, the Urban Fellows Programme at the Indian Institute for Human Settlements\, Bengaluru\, completed six years with 227 graduates. Collectively written by Faculty and staff at IIHS\, Towards a New Urban Practice marks this moment as a point of reflection. Using the programme as an archive\, the book reflects on questions of contemporary urban knowledge\, interdisciplinary and. southern urban pedagogy\, what it means to teach about and from practice\, and how our thinking on pedagogy needs to be equally rooted in questions of institutional design\, operations\, admissions\, and the political economy of employment for new urban practitioners. \nParticipants:\nAromar Revi\, Director\, Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS)\nGautam Bhan\, Associate Dean\, School of Human Development\, IIHS\nSudeshna Mitra\, Senior Lead – Academics & Research\, IIHS\nMichael Cohen\, Director\, Observatory on Latin America\, OLA\nBrian McGrath\, Professor of Urban Design\, Parsons \nFriday 31 March\, 2023\n2:00-4:00 pm (EDT)\nWollman Hall\, 65 W. 11th Street\, Room B500\nNew York\, NY\, 10003 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Iran #3037: Political Sexual Violence Under The Dictatorship
DESCRIPTION:The Observatory on Latin America and the Schools of Public Engagement invite you to: \nFilm Screening of Irán #3037 [violencia politico sexual en dictadura] (Iran #3037: Political Sexual Violence under the Dictatorship) \nIran #3037 was a clandestine center of detention and torture under the brutal regime of General Augusto Pinochet. Referred to as The Sexy Blindfold (La Venda Sexy) or the Discotheque\, it was known for sexual violation and abuse. Today it is a site of protest as activists call for the house to be transformed into a feminist memorial site. Iran #3037 powerfully dramatizes the situation of the family living in the house today and the struggle surrounding the site. The drama had a long run in Chile\, playing in the National Theater of Chile as part of a “Theater in Emergency” cycle. While the play deals with the past\, it hit a chord with the public as it seemed to dramatize the police violence surrounding the recent social uprising (estallido social) as well. \nPlease join us for the first film screening of Iran #3037 in the United States followed by a conversation with the director\, Patricia Artés Ibañez. The film is subtitled in English. \nPatricia Artés Ibañez is a Chilean researcher and feminist theater director. She holds a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies in Thought\, Culture and Society from the University of Valparaíso. She has co-authored an anthology of 20th-century women’s playwrights\, Evidencias\, las otras dramaturgias (Evidence: the Other Playwrights). \nThe event will be introduced by Terri Gordon\, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature\, Schools of Public Engagement. \nThis is an in-person event. \nWhere: Wollman Hall\, 65 W. 11 th Street\, Room B500\nDate and Time:\nThursday 13 October 2022\n6:00-8:00 pm (EST) \nREGISTER HERE \nIf you have any questions about this event\, please contact risac646@newschool.edu \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nPresented by the Observatory on Latin America and the Schools of Public Engagement. Co-sponsored by the School of Undergraduate Studies and the Gender and Sexualities Studies Institute of The New School and the Modern Languages and Literatures Department of Brooklyn College.
