Jai Sen

Jai Sen is based now in New Delhi, India, and in Ottawa, Canada, on unceded Algonquin territory. He is an architect by training and first practice, then an activist around the rights of the labouring poor based in Kolkata, India and now a student of the history and dynamics of movement. Seeing critical reflection as a potent contribution to building transformative power, his present work is around creating spaces for reflection in and on movement, in different media. Author/editor/co-editor of several books and articles on (the dynamics and globalization of) movement, he is a director at CACIM (Critical Action : Centre in Movement) and co-coordinator at OpenWord. He was a Canada Council Research Fellow during 1973–75, Senior Fellow of the Indian Council of Social Science Research during 1992–95, and Jawaharlal Nehru Fellow during 2004–6.
