MONSOON [+ other] WATERS

January 2019

Monsoon [+ other] Waters is the second of three publications by Monsoon Assemblages, research project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Unions's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

It arises from a symposium held at the University of Westminster, 12-13 April 2018. It contributes to Monsoon Assemblages' agenda to foster interdisciplinary conversations between the environmental humanities (anthropology, environmental studies, political ecology, cultural geography and philosophy), the natural sciences (meteorology, climatology and climate science) and spatial design (architecture, landscape architecture, planning and urban design) to further understandings of the impacts of changing monsoon climates and rapid urbanisation in South Asian cities and beyond.
