 he poster: A silver pipe is placed diagonally on the bottom left of the po
 ster. A large shard of glass pierces through the pipe. The shard reflects 
 an image of a dark-skinned individual wearing a black mask with the word '
 BLM' on it standing against a foggy grey background. Behind this person, 
 there is a group of people gathered around a bonfire. One of them is holdi
 ng up a sign that says, 'No Consent.' On the left side of the poster, a 
 white, decapitated head of a male statue is rolling on the ground, shado
 w covering the majority of its face. The MEDUSA logo, with an eye, a sna
 ke on top of it, and a half-circle encapsulating the left part of the eye
  and the snake, is placed on the right top of the poster.**Open invite to

 r: Professor Dwaipayan Banerjee MIT Title: Decolonizing Science: Technolog
 y, Art and Internationalism in Early Postcolonial IndiaMuch of the STS sc
 holarship on postcolonial science has critiqued the national techno-politi
 cs in the early years of decolonization (Nasser in Egypt, Nkrumah in Ghan
 a, Nehru in India and so on). Several scholars have rightly questioned th
 e techno-utopian nature of these projects and critiqued their commitment t
 o a singular modernization paradigm that failed to account for the particu
 lar politics of postcoloniality. In this talk, I argue that the dominance
  of this critique obscures far more contradictory and exciting energies th
 at emerged from the world of early postcolonial science, energies that cl
 aimed modernism but rejected modernization. I do this by enacting a latera
 l move, shifting our point of view to an Indian artistic modernism born i
 n close relation to and partly because of these same scientific energies. 
 Finally, I offer some reflections on the possibilities of thinking throug
 h 20th century scientific and artistic internationalisms as a response to 
 the rise of fascist politics in many parts of the contemporary world.Click
