[Urban-Media] NEXT Tuesday

[Shekhar Krishnan]

Dear All:

I received messages from Ilham and Mike about a session today. I'm sorry
if I didn't inform everyone sufficiently that the next session is on
TUESDAY 31 OCTOBER in MIT Building E-51 Room 191 (the STS Reading Room)
from 7.00-9.00 p.m. -- the last message had the date in the subject
line. 

We will meet to discuss these texts on suburbanization in India, Europe
and the U.S.:

Nikhil Rao, "An Indian Suburbia", chapter 1 from dissertation in the
Department of History, University of Chicago, 2006ms
http://www.mit.edu/~shekhar/urban-media/rao_indian_suburbia.pdf

Robert Fishman, Bourgeois Utopias: The Rise and Fall of Suburbia. New
York: Basic Books, 1987.
http://www.mit.edu/~shekhar/urban-media/fishman_bourgeois_utopias.pdf

The first text will be the basis for the discussion. Next week, Nikhil
will also circulate a shorter conference paper from a talk he gave this
weekend in Madison. I will also order meals for everyone. See you next
Tuesday at 7.00 p.m.!

Best, 


Shekhar
