I will discuss how aspiration/becoming were very central to the way I envisaged re-opening the conversation on Pakistan but that they have darker sides when considered within the rubric of climate change in Bangladesh in which all the focus on mitigation and adaptation without thinking through the fall out of constant adaptiveness may be a destructive plasticity. My presentation will draw on the term 'ensouling' as a way to mitigate the excesses of aspiration as a concept applied to the context of Bangladesh.
All are welcome
There will be drinks and the chance for a chat after the presentation
