This event is postponed until the fall.
Student researchers associated with the Ambedkar Initiative, and with the seminar, “Race, Caste, and the University” will share their research and reflections.
They will explore the global itineraries of anticaste thought, with a focus on B. R. Ambedkar — who is among the twentieth century’s most important voices in the radical democratic tradition — through forms of engaged pedagogy and public outreach, and resuscitate the links, implicit and explicit, between the world’s oldest and the world’s largest democracies.
Their work has been supported by the Laidlaw Fellows Program (Barnard and Columbia); The Office of the Provost, Columbia University; the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library; the Columbia University Libraries; and ongoing support by the faculty and staff of the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society.
Comments by Christina Dhanuja (independent scholar), Frank Guridy (Columbia), Gaurav Pathania (Eastern Mennonite), and Nicholas Tampio (Fordham).
