Event Description

South Asia and the Institute: Transformational Connections showcases the longstanding connections between MIT and South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal) that go back more than 140 years.
The Institute’s past and present has been enriched as much by South Asian students and faculty as their lives have been shaped by the Institute. Perched at the forefront of technological revolutions across the globe, MIT’s South Asians have negotiated a changing world of race and immigration in America, and decolonization and nation-building in South Asia. South Asia and the Institute makes these transformative connections visible.
Join us for a conversation on the influence of science and technology education and the screening of the documentary, “Revolution on the Ganga: The Making of the Technological Indian.”
