#11: The Impossibility of Dalit Studies
Colleges and universities hold the potential to transform society by raising social consciousness and enabling social and economic mobility. Historically and today, however, this potential has been constrained by accessibility barriers, deficiencies in curriculums, skewed funding allocations, among other factors. Ankit Kawade, who is an MPhil candidate at the Centre for Political Studies at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, joins us this week to discuss his article titled \u201cThe Impossibility of Dalit Studies\u201d published last year (http://bit.ly/dalit-studies).
\nThis is the first episode of our new season featuring a refreshed format, new graphics, and a line-up of exciting scholars. Our goal remains the same: each week, we\u2019ll take you on a behind-the-scenes tour of work published in EPW. We hope you tune in, and share your feedback!
