Infrastructures of Democracy: The Politics of Road Building in Rural Nepal

A conversation with Katharine N. Rankin, Professor, Geography,& Planning, University of Toronto and an editor of Infrastructures of Democracy : Politics and Processes of Road Building in Rural Nepal (co-edited with Sara Shneiderman and Mukta S. Tamang).
November 10, Tuesday, 1:30 p.m., Shift Centre, Concordia Univ., 1400 boul. de Maisonneuve Ouest, Library Building, Room 145.
Infrastructures of Democracy is a vivid and original set of studies showing how Nepal’s rural roads are more than infrastructure— they are contested terrains of politics, power, and everyday life. Sensitive to local voices and vernaculars, the authors rethink development and open new pathways towards imagining the possibilities of a just society.
