Jerusalem: Transcendence amidst Strife

Speaker: Smt Lata Iyer, sustainability consultant who has assessed working conditions in Israel's agricultural sector

Holy to Jews, Christians and Muslims, Jerusalem is a perennial source of inspiration to the faithful. Yet, it has become the very symbol of division and intolerance. Illustrated by the speaker's photographs, this lecture will take the audience through significant "˜stations' of Jerusalem"”among them the Gates of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount and Bethlehem"”reflecting at each on what it says about the protracted conflict and current stalemate, on how the quarters of Armenians, Christians, Jews and Muslims speak for a pluralistic ethos, even as division makes itself felt constantly"”even within the Christian community, over the custody of its monuments.

CELEBRATING WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP
Unorganized
The term "˜unorganized', much used in relation to spaces where women work, can distort understanding and policy response in developing countries. "˜Unorganized' workers are in fact highly organized, and are exploited by other organizations through buy-back arrangements or piece-rate payment. The term is also used for craftspeople, who may not form a collective, yet together weave an unspoken language through their skills.

The seminar will include an overview of the pathbreaking Arjun Sengupta Report, make interconnections between economic and cultural domains through a session on crafts, and explore how formulaic government schemes like Self-Help Groups are transformed by women into membership-based organizations giving them voice across party, class and caste.
