Book your place in the Contested and Possible Sovereignties: The "State" of Kashmir', March 5
The workshop will bring together scholars, media and creative practitioners, NGO spokespersons and policy-makers in a dialogic format in order to understand the complex dimensions of the practices of sovereignty in relation to security, state and sectarian violence, religious nationalism, human rights, and a distinctive Kashmiri cultural history and identity.
Research questions driving the workshop are: What forms of knowledge regarding contested sovereignty may be generated through a dialogue between scholars, media and creative practitioners, human rights organizations, and policy makers? How can this knowledge be used to inform UK policy and create public awareness about the Kashmir issue?
To book your place, please email Reva Yunus, Doctoral Researcher (R.Yunus@warwick.ac.uk) or Dr. Goldie Osuri (G.Osuri@warwick.ac.uk) by the 27th February.
We still have a few spaces free for tonight's film - "Our Former NASHI"
Tonight at 6:30pm in Ramphal R0.12
The second part of the international documentary film “What does it mean to be young in Modern Europe?”: “Our former NASHI”
The youth movement “NASHI” (trans. – “Ours”) is one of the most visible and contradictory projects on the stage of youth politics. In 2005, on the wave of growing radicalism, Russian authorities decided to organize an active youth base under its own leadership. Provided with both financial and ideological support from the government, the movement was given the opportunity to realize diverse social, activist, and political projects. Today parts of this movement are trying to distance themselves from their NASHI origins. We bring to your attention a firsthand story about past and present of pro-Kremlin movements.
