[Shekhar Krishnan]

Dear All:

We will meet for our next session on TUESDAY 31 OCTOBER in MIT Building
E-51 Room 191 (the STS Reading Room) from 7.00-9.00 p.m. 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 a brief presentation and introduction
to discussion by Nikhil Rao, who will drive down from the bourgeois
utopia of Wellesley for the occassion. 

Also, I will order vegetarian meals from the Guru for everyone around --
six meals for myself, Mike, Eric, Nikhil, Ilham, and Nithya. Please let
me know if you are NOT coming so I can adjust the order. 

Best,


Shekhar
