Time: Saturday, October 22nd, 4pm to 7pm.

Hyderabad Urban Lab brings to Lamakaan, the second in the series of conversations about what it means to be urban in the 21st century. This conversation titled 'Faith and the City' is set up as a structured exchange between Dr. Sarah Waheed, Professor of History at Davidson College in North Carolina, USA and Dr. Anant Maringanti, Director of Hyderabad Urban Lab. Dr. Waheed, will bring insights from her work on gender, religion, and anxieties of being in transnational urban contexts. Dr. Maringanti will bring his work on social justice and the role of faith in organizing. The broader goal of the conversation is to open up the taken for granted understandings of faith and religion as relationships to the self, to the other and to our collective existence in rapidly altering urban setttings.

As last time, we promise good music and great opening gambits. It is for you to make it a great conversation.
