Climate justice is social justice
Mumbai, India’s most populous city, faces rising temperatures, flooding, and pollution. Climate change is an urgent concern, yet strong disagreements divide the city’s population on the nature of appropriate responses to climate crisis. We find that urban activists in Mumbai make an explicit connection between social justice and climate justice. This paper studies three social movements working in Mumbai to secure access to housing, water and san…

Telling histories of the future
When, in 1947, India became independent, its archetypal citizen-subject was the farmer; 60 years later it was the software engineer. Increasingly central, rather than marginal, in global economic networks, India's popular image at the beginning of the twenty-first century is of a postcolonial nation that has successfully used technology to leapfrog over its historical legacy of underdevelopment. This shift in ideal citizen archetypes, from farmer…

Post-colonial historiography and the polemicist's task
In three articles in the London Review of Books (LRB), Marxist historian Perry Anderson presented a sweeping, synoptic polemic on modern India.1 Re-cast as extensively footnoted chapters entitled ‘
Doing Interdisciplinary Asian Studies in the Age of the Anthropocene
In Bangalore, late in the summer of 2014, I listened to many animated conversations. There were political debates: the right-wing Hindu nationalist party had, earlier that summer, won national as well as state elections, evoking disparate reactions across society, sowing dissension even among the technological elite. There were technological arguments: should Bangalore continue to be an outsourcing haven for software services, or did India need a…
Postcolonial Computing
The authors suggest that postcolonial science studies can do more than expand answers to questions already posed; it can generate different questions and different ways of looking at the world. To illustrate, the authors draw on existing histories and anthropologies and critical theories of colonial and postcolonial technoscience. To move forward together, rather than remaining mired in regretful contemplation of past biases, the authors offer so…

Indian Informational Capitalism
Producing Transnational Knowledge, Neoliberal Identities, and Technoscientific Practice in India
This chapter explores the nexus of the new biological and informational sciences in contemporary India, against the backdrop of colonial legacies of the Enlightenment and Romanticism, and argues that naïve models of science and technology proliferate in the wake of India's software development and outsourcing successes. Well-meaning activists who record “free” knowledge through open source database software appear to be offering a new, transparen…

Health demonstration projects
There has been criticism of systematic reviews and meta-analyses that have shown little evidence of effect of interventions to improve teenage sexual health. Moreover, there is considerable controversy surrounding the validity of outcomes and rigour of design in evaluation methods for community-based programmes. In this climate, Scotland launched Healthy Respect, one of four community-based national Demonstration Projects, to address teenage sexu…

Making sense of mentoring or mentoring making sense? Reflections on the mentoring process by adult mentors with young people
This paper sets out to look at the processes of mentoring from the perspectives of adult mentors who were interviewed as part of a wider study of young people's perceptions and understandings of informal mentoring processes. It seeks to clarify the processes of mentoring within the context of the ‘risk society’ by posing the question, how do young people and mentors perceive these processes? What do mentors get out of the mentoring relationship? …
Global Botanical Networks, Political Economy, and Environmentalist Discourses in Cinchona Transplantation to British India
In the mid-nineteenth century Cinchona plantations were established in British and Dutch colonial territories in an attempt to supply quinine to their troops and to corner the world market in this valuable commodity. I revisit the story of the British transfer of cinchona from the Peruvian Andes to Southern India by Clements Markham, suggesting that narratives about the environment can be read simultaneously for their ideological, political, econ…
English Mud
In order to analyse colonial science as a form of culture, we must tell the multiple, tangled narratives of race, class, gender, nation and scientific progress together. The construction of ideas of nature in British colonies, for instance, intersects with the construction of ‘primitives’, the privatization of land, the scientific management of forests, their products and their inhabitants, and the political economy of global exploration. Excavat…
Imperial Science Rescues a Tree
During the course of the nineteenth century, the rise in the number of British troops stationed in India, along with the increasing number of women and children who joined the colonial administrators, made military and public health a matter of imperial concern. Malaria in particular was responsible for thousands of English deaths. Worried at the South American monopoly over the quinine trade, British colonial administrators and scientists put to…
