*NEW* teaching resources are available to accompany the short video documentary 'LIFELINES': a portrait from the Himalayas.
The Lifelines film (www.lifelinesfilm.com<http://www.lifelinesfilm.com>) was designed to help people understand contemporary life in a rural part of India. The film bears centrally on many key questions in human geography, anthropology, development studies, South Asian Studies, and youth studies - on globalization, development, the state, politics, agrarian change, rural life, youth, work, affect, education, migration, and ‘India’ itself. Its length (15 minutes, and a 10 minute version is also available) makes it perfectly suited to showing at the beginning or end of a lecture, seminar, class, or tutorial.
The teaching guide lists some of the questions that might be posed to students after watching the film, organized in relation to 12 key themes. There are also ideas for further reading.
See: http://www.lifelinesfilm.com/resources
Also available are resources for secondary schools (both UK and USA), with lesson plans and visual discussion materials (also useful at high education level).
