In the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s Autumn Statement, Jeremy Hunt promised that “the government will expand the business Visitor rules to allow businesspeople to engage in a wider range of permitted activities and paid engagements, to take effect from January 2024.

CSAS South Asian Film Series | Nocturnes (November 13, 2024 7:00pm)

Event Begins: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies


Continuing our Spotlight On Women Directors series, Nocturnes is a 2024 documentary on how moths convey a mysterious message.

In the dense forests of the Eastern Himalayas, moths are whispering something to us. In the dark of night, two curious observers shine a light on this secret universe. Together, they are on an expedition to decode these nocturnal creatures in a remote ecological “hot spot” on the border of India and Bhutan. The result is a deeply immersive film that transports audiences to a rarely-seen place and urges us all to look more closely at the hidden interconnections of the natural world. From directors Anirban Dutta and Anupama Srinivasan.

This screening is FREE and open to the public (must reserve free tickets/RSVP in advance)

Tickets: https://marquee-arts.org/event-page/tickets/?showingId=892704

Film website: https://www.sandboxfilms.org/films/nocturnes/

*Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.*

The natural disaster economist

There seems to be headlines about floods, wildfires, or hurricanes every week. Scientists say this might be the new normal — that climate change is making natural disasters more and more common.

Tatyana Deryugina is a leading expert on the economics of natural disasters — how we respond to them, how they affect the economy, and how they change our lives. And back when Tatyana first started researching natural disasters she realized that there's a lot we don't know about their long-term economic consequences. Especially about how individuals and communities recover.

Trying to understand those questions of how we respond to natural disasters is a big part of Tatyana's research. And her research has some surprising implications for how we should be responding to natural disasters.

This episode was hosted and reported by Jeff Guo. It was produced by Emma Peaslee and edited by Jess Jiang. It was fact checked by Sierra Juarez and engineered by Josephine Nyounai. Alex Goldmark is our executive producer.
