Message-ID: <1203148206.22072.37.camel@nowhereman> Dear All: Our workshop and reading group on cities in South Asia, which has been meeting occasionally for more than two years at MIT, has revived this semester. I have consolidated all our previous workshop sessions materials onto a new web site at: http://bombayology.net Please let me know what you think of the new site, and if you can join us over the next few weeks in our latest set of readings of recently published histories and ethnographies on Bombay, Calcutta, Lahore and Delhi. We will be meeting regularly this spring at MIT, see the latest announcement on the site. Best, S.K. P.S. You may have noticed that our earlier home at http://urban.media.mit.edu has now been taken over by the Writing Cities conference in which I am involved. While we continue using the old mailing list urban-media at mit.edu all of our web content is now at http://bombayology.net and I will post all future updates there. -- Shekhar Krishnan MIT E51-185 77, Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 U.S.A. http://www.mit.edu/~shekhar http://www.heptanesia.net http://www.crit.org.in/members/shekhar From tsrinivas at comcast.net Sat Feb 16 09:31:57 2008 From: tsrinivas at comcast.net (Tulasi Srinivas) Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2008 09:31:57 -0500 Subject: [UrbanSouthAsia] We're Back!

The username to use is "bombayologist" and the password is "urbanmedia". Once you login once you should have access to all the PDFs seamlessly. This login information should remain private, and I assume no responsibility for anyone who accesses the content who is not on this mailing list. Let me know if you run into any troubles accessing the PDFs, which run into more than a thousand pages of material from the last two years. Please note that I have not posted any of your private workshop papers, only the accompanying texts from those sessions.
