SUMMARY:Rules for the Unruly: Regulating India’s Nonprofit Sector in Global Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the final talk of the year in the Department of Sociology-Anthropology Colloquium. Our guest speaker is Prof. Erica Bornstein from the University of Oregon\, USA.  \nProfessor Bornstein's talk will explore the issue of nonprofit regulation in India in relation to current global trends. Based on her recent book\, A Revolution of Rules\, she will discuss her research findings and the methodological challenges of studying regulatory processes ethnographically.  \nBio: Erica Bornstein is Professor of Anthropology at University of Oregon. Her research interests include economic development and philanthropy\, non-governmental and nonprofit organizations\, voluntary sector regulation\, and humanitarianism. She is the author of three monographs: A Revolution of Rules: The Regulatory Reform of India’s Nonprofit Sector (Stanford 2025); Disquieting Gifts: Humanitarianism in New Delhi (Stanford 2012)\, and The Spirit of Development: Protestant NGOs\, Morality\, and Economics in Zimbabwe (Stanford 2005). She is also the coeditor of Forces of Compassion: Humanitarianism Between Ethics and Politics (School for Advanced Research Press\, 2011). \nBook abstract: \nWhat is it about nonprofits that inspires so many to passionately support their agendas and others to adamantly seek their control? In India\, laws regulating the nonprofit sector were dramatically reformed between 2010-2020\, reconfiguring relationships between corporations\, nonprofits\, and the government. Thousands of nonprofits\, including powerful NGOs\, lost their ability to receive foreign funding\, and in 2015 dozens more were put on a state-sponsored watch list. While many assume that nonprofits are defined by the causes they champion\, A Revolution of Rules argues that the nonprofit form is shaped by its regulation\, in a dynamic process of democratic and political negotiation. The scrutiny of nonprofits must be understood in the global context of political judicialization and regulatory reform\, and the shrinking global stage for rights-based work.

SUMMARY:Colloquium on Alkali- and Alkaline Earth Metal Complexes as Catalysts for Sustainable Polymers
DESCRIPTION:Dear All\, \nThe Vice Chancellor's office invites you to a colloquium on "Alkali- and Alkaline Earth Metal Complexes as Catalysts for Sustainable Polymers" by Prof. V. Chandrasekhar\, Visiting Distinguished Professor\, TIFR\, Hyderabad \nAbstract: Efficient polymerization methods for the preparation of sustainable polymers such as poly (lactic acid) or poly (ε-caprolactone) and the corresponding co-polymers are important targets of research. In this context\, unsymmetrical imino─phosphanamidinate\, N-P-N ligands (Figure) were designed and synthesized\, and their reactivity with various metal precursors was studied.  In general\, such reactions proceed to afford a monoanionic chelating N-P-N motif that can bind to metal centres affording four-membered rings1-4 (Figure). Utilizing this strategy we prepared a Cs(I) complex2 and a Mg(II) complex4 which were studied by NMR and crystallography. Further\, these complexes were shown to be highly efficient catalysts for the homopolymerization of lactide and ε-caprolactone as well for the block co-polymerization of lactide with caprolactone.2\,4 These results will be presented. \n \nAbout the Speaker: Prof V. Chandrasekhar studied chemistry and obtained his PhD degree in 1982 from the Indian Institute of Science\, Bangalore and postdoctoral work at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst\, Massachusetts\, USA. After briefly working at the Research and Development section of the Indian Petrochemicals Corporation at Vadodara\, as a Senior Research Officer\, he joined the Department of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 1987 where he has been a full professor since 1995 until his superannuation in November 2023. He served for an additional month at IIT Kanpur as a professor. He served as the Head of the Department of Chemistry\, IIT Kanpur (2008–10)\, and as the Dean of Faculty Affairs\, IIT Kanpur (2011–12). He also worked at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research\, Centre for Interdisciplinary Sciences\, Hyderabad\, as a Senior Professor/Dean (2012–14) and Director (2014–17)\, National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER)\, Bhubaneswar\, India\, as a Centre Director of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research\, Hyderabad (2017-23). He is currently a visiting Distinguished Professor at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Hyderabad. His research interests are in molecular materials\, inorganic rings and polymers\, main-group organometallic chemistry and polynuclear metal assemblies. He has been a recipient of the S. S. Bhatnagar Award of the Council and Scientific Industrial Research\, India\, and the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Bessel Research Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation\, Germany (With Prof. H. W. Roesky at Goettingen 2003 Dec-2004 June). \nHe is an elected Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences\, Bangalore\, the National Academy of Sciences\, Allahabad\, the Indian National Science Academy\, New Delhi and the World Academy of Sciences\, Trieste\, Italy. He is currently the President of the Chemical Research Society of India and the President-elect of the Asian Chemical Editorial Society. He has been on the editorial board of several journals including\, Organometallics. Currently he is on the editorial board of Dalton Transactions as an Associate Editor. His research work is documented in 460+ publications. \nWe look forward to your active participation. \nWith regards
