Research Context, Methods & Goals:
The Everyday Suburbanisms research took place in Toronto (Douglas Young, Deborah Cowen), Bangalore (Solly Benjamin), Delhi (Shubhra Gururani), and Johannesburg (Alan Mabin) during Years 1-3.
In Toronto, the focus was on transportation, in particular public transit, and its use and impact on the organization of daily life. A secondary focus of the research was on the use of digital communications technology in everyday life which connects with the National Film Board's (NFB) Highrise project.
In Delhi and Bangalore, the focus of teh research was on the everyday lives of work, mobility, and migration. This was conducted mainly through ethnographic research with villagers, migrant workers, and the new middle class suburbanites.
