Jai Sen

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.

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.
