Title: Monsoon
Description: Monsoon Assemblages is a research project funded
by the European Research Council (ERC) under
the European Union?s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme (Grant Agreement No.
697873). Monsoon [+ other] Airs is the first of three
publications by Monsoon Assemblages arising from
symposia held at the University of Westminster
(2017-2019). These form part of its 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 investigate their consequences for
the environmental humanities and spatial design
practice.
