The July edition of IIHS City Scripts featured author Sandhya Mary and translator Jayasree Kalathil discussing their book, Maria, Just Maria, with writer and publisher Chirag Thakkar. Through interwoven timelines which blend memory with reality, Maria, Just Maria examines how personal narratives shape our identities and challenges our understanding of normalcy. It invites readers to reflect on the stories we tell ourselves and how they inform our lives. The conversation touched on portraying 'madness' in literature, writing about the interior lives of women and the labour of translation.

Description: The online panel discussion critically reflected on mainstream academic and policy discourses on migration, urbanisation, and development. The panellists discussed how migration and urbanisation policies could better complement one another in the Indian context, particularly in the areas of governance, federalism, labour, social protection, food security, housing, and gender. Given increasing inequalities, the speakers reflected on making urbanisation processes more inclusive for internal migrants, and on the urgent need to integrate the issue of migration in development and urbanisation policies in a post-pandemic world.Panellists included contributors to the Special Issue of the IIHS journal Urbanisation , ‘The Future of Urbanisation: Migration Policies in the Post-pandemic World’.

IIHS hosted Upal Ghosh ,Professor - Department of Chemical, Biochemical, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Maryland Baltimore County at the recent Publics@IIHS public lecture series on 8 July 2024 at the IIHS Bengaluru City Campus. His lecture,' Sustainable Environmental Restoration and Remediation of Contaminated Coastal Systems' drew from his work on environmental engineering and nature-based solutions.Prof Ghosh elucidated two case studies where the presence of toxic pollutants in sediments and degradation of a coastal ecosystem were addressed through a solid foundation of scientific understanding of ecosystem processes. The first case study spoke about Wilmington, DE, where an impoverished section of the city along a tidal river was being impacted by flooding and exposure to legacy toxic pollutants from past industrial activities in the area. The second case study involved large-scale beneficial use of lightly contaminated aquatic sediments from maintenance dredging of the Baltimore Port which generates about 5 million cubic yards of dredged material per year.
