 A PUBLIC TALK BY JAI SEN


 19 April 2012 | 1-2:30 PM


 Author’s Corner | Illini Union Bookstore, 2nd Floor


 809 S. Wright Street

Champaign, IL


 FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC


 This talk will cover some of the wide-ranging discussions, debates, and
arguments which have gone into making the World Social Forum (WSF), one of
the more prominent platforms of alternative ideas and practices presently.



Jai Sen - based now in New Delhi, India, and in Ottawa, Canada – is an
architect by training and first practice, then an activist around the
rights of the labouring poor based in Kolkata, India, and now a student of
the history and dynamics of movement. He was a Canada Council Research
Fellow during 1973-75, Senior Fellow of the Indian Council of Social
Science Research during 1992-95, and a Jawaharlal Nehru Fellow during
2004-6. Seeing critical reflection as a potent contribution to building
transformative power, his present work is around creating spaces for
reflection in and on movement, in different media. Author/editor/co-editor
of several books and articles on (the dynamics and globalisation of)
movement, he is Director at CACIM (Critical Action : Centre in Movement;
www.cacim.net) and Co-Coordinator at OpenWord (http://www.openword.in).


 This talk is brought to you by the Focal Point Project, “The
Nongovernmental Impulse,” and is a fpart of the NGO Symposium that will
take place April 19-20, 2012 at the University of Illinios,
Urbana-Champaign.  For the full Sympoisum schedule, see our website at:
