Dr. Esha Niyogi De has published a new, single-authored monograph, Women's Transborder Cinema: Authorship, Stardom, and Filmic Labor in South Asia, available on University of Illinois Press' website.
Held at NED University's Karachi campus on January 1–2, 2013, AIPS' collaborative workshop "Rethinking the Urban in Pakistan" brought several AIPS members together with anthropologists, urban planners, historians, artists, and activists to discuss how Pakistan's cities are changing, and how these changes result in human costs and possibilities. Participants covered a wide range of topics from art, literature, and film to urban governance and economic practices, many centering on the host city of Karachi. Each presentation pointed out promising directions for future research that could valuably contribute to Pakistan studies as a whole.
