We invite students to situate their research in Bidar, to learn from its settlements, the region and their woven (plural) worlds. It has and does continue to ‘hold’ and ‘nurture’ diversity of cross-connections between communities, languages, locative practices, ecologies and settlements. In this Directed Research Project (DRP) you can explore the woven relationships through ‘creative urban practice’, an approach to co-produce knowledge & understanding along with the communities who collectively hold rich scholarship of the place generated through lived & shared experiences.
