Recent Updates
We have signed an MoU with Krea University, Chennai, to document the socio-economic and political history of the city, focusing on perspectives, voices, and experiences often overlooked in existing literature and discourse.
In collaboration with LEAD at Krea University (IFMR), we selected 10 essay proposals that highlight key aspects of Chennai's socio-economic and political history.
Our first online workshop with the selected participants was recently conducted, and the essays will be presented at a year-end conference.
Additionally, we are working on media outreach initiatives to share these essays through various audio-visual mediums to ensure broader dissemination.
