Dear Colleagues and Friends,
ASUPS
is organizing a lecture titled "Compressed Capitalism, Globalization,
and the Fate of Indian Development" by Professor Anthony P. D'Costa on
Thursday April 2, 2015 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. in Trimble Forum.
Professor
D'Costa is an esteemed colleague of mine who is originally
from India, but who now teaches at the University of Melbourne in
Australia. He is known for his work on economic development of India and
the concept of "compressed capitalism". I am sure you will find his
lecture thought-provoking, should you and your students
decide to attend it.
I
would be grateful if you can distribute the attached flyer (which
contains an abstract of the talk and also Professor D'Costa's
biographical sketch) to your colleagues, announce this lecture in your
classes, perhaps offer an extra-credit opportunity to your students for
attending this lecture and reporting on it, and thus
help in the publicity efforts.
thank you for your kind attention,
Devparna Roy, Ph.D.
Visiting Assistant Professor
Department of Sociology and Anthropology
University of Puget Sound
