1. Urban Political Mobilisations: Reflections from Delhi
מוביליזציה עירונית ופוליטית בדרום הגלובלי: מחשבות מדלהי

Cities of the global south from Istanbul to Cairo, Sao Paulo to New Delhi, have seen the rise of political and public mobilisations at both a heightened degree and frequency in recent years. Many of these are particularly urban mobilisations - not just in the city, but about claiming it. What can we learn from the fact and modes of these mobilisations? This talk reflects on three key mobilisations in Delhi-- the anti-corruption gatherings, protests against sexual violence, and protests against evictions -- and reflects on their implications about contemporary urban citizenship in the cities of the global south.

2. Queer Politics in Contemporary India: Reflections on Sexuality as Politics in the Global South"
פוליטיקה קווירית והמרחב הציבורי בהודו העירונית העכשווית

The queer subject has been both the agent and object of intense debate in millenial India. The rise of a vocal and public queer political movement has offered possibilities of thinking about sexuality as politics rather than simply identity. What does a queer political perspective offer to the contemporary political moment in India at a time of intensified calls to nationalism and the nation-as-mother? How can notions of queerness beyond narrow readings of "different or alternate sexualities" inform broader progressive and inter-sectional political practice? 

3. In the Public's Interest: Evictions, Citizenship and Inequality in Millenial Delhi
האינטרס הציבורי: פינויים בכפייה, אזרחות ואי-שיוויון בדלהי של שנות האלפיים
Contemporary Delhi is a city scarred by the evictions of 'Bastis'—urban settlements that house some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. Many of these evictions were ordered by the Indian Judiciary in Public Interest Litigations, which was a tool introduced to enable the poor to access justice. How did a judicial innovation introduced precisely to enable the marginalised to seek justice become an instrument of their exclusion? This talk explores how evictions have been fundamental to how urban space is been structured and produced, and asks what they tell us about the contemporary Indian city.
