ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Pandemic and the Southern City is a three day online course, offered by HUL from Nov 27-29 as part of its new initiative – Winter School 2020.
In March this year, India went into a lockdown to slow down the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. As India’s urban centres became still, simultaneously, they also revealed their numerous fault lines. Millions of workers started returning to their towns and villages, livelihoods were disrupted, households and neighbourhoods witnessed changes unlike any other in living memory. The effects of the extended lockdown, and the slow opening of the economy, will continue being felt in the coming years.
In this three day course, tailored to understand the implications of these changes caused by the pandemic, HUL will draw upon its past work, southern urban theory, and the practices of the faculty members during the past eight months.
This paid course is aimed at graduate students, early to mid career scholars and professionals interested in cities of the global south.

The HUL logo represents the urban grid, an interconnected network of resources and opportunities that should ideally be available and accessible to everyone who stakes a claim to them. In other words the logo represents the city as a space of resource sharing and opportunity generation for everyone that is part of it.
