Enduring Harm: Philly-Mumbai Collaboration co-led by Prof. Nikhil Anand is published in IJURR
A series of essays resulting from a collaboration between scholars working in and on Philadelphia and Mumbai, focusing on issues of water justice, has been published in the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research.
In this comparative and collaborative collection of essays we work through contemporary and historical practices of governing urban waters in Philadelphia and Mumbai. Taken together, the essays in this collection argue that events of enduring harm visited upon racialized, marginalized citizens are produced through slow bureaucratic processes of aversion, ambiguation and ambivalence, perpetuated in and through regulatory regimes, water quality standards, legal discourses and everyday practices in the city.
