A wonderful collection of cutting-edge discursive and #EMCA approaches to study oppression. A much needed scholarship, that grapples with criticality seriously.
Thanks @FrancescaorFW and Prof. Lester for this initiative - will return to the collection again and again!

The idea that Brahmins in India don't eat meat is one of the grandest myths ever told.

[Rahul Sambaraju @RahulVoy]

Human-dog conflict is a pressing issue, at least for us in India, and we need more urgent studies on how we make sense of it!
This might not fit agendas of how human-nonhuman beings ought to coexist based in the 'West', but we can't ignore this.

CCTV Footage of Stray Dog Attack on Young Boy in Sangareddy Sparks Outrage

CCTV footage captured a distressing incident in Srinagar Colony, where a group of stray dogs attacked a young boy playing outside his home. The footage shows six dogs suddenly setting upon the boy, causing alarm among the locals who quickly intervened.

Responding to the boy's cries for help, residents used stones to beat and chase the dogs away. Despite their swift actions, the boy sustained severe injuries and was immediately rushed to the government hospital for treatment.

Four days ago a boy was mauled to death in Patancheru. High court took serious note of several deaths and injuries related to stray dog attack.

Caste-based reservations were undermined through ascribing predicates of 'wealth' and 'class mobility' to oppressed caste categories.
'Merit' and 'equal opportunity' justified the rejection, while treating Indian society as 'not fully just'.

'Racial Epistemics'
Speakers navigate an epistemic gradient across race lines: those who experience(d) and can report about racism, and, those receiving these reports.
Maintenance and negotiation of this gradient informs
reporting of racism.

#HeatWave ☀️🔥🌡️

[Rahul Sambaraju @RahulVoy]

A very important way of capturing and showing the differences in temperatures.
Heat is bound to human activities.
>40°c is so very hard to deal with and every centigrade makes a difference

[Hyderabad Urban Lab @hulfoundation]

UHI is a phenomenon, which exhibits higher Land Surface Temperatures (LST) in comparison to the surrounding areas due to urbanization and anthropogenic activities.

Well well a man just called me ‘bloody p*ki’ shouted at me and my children and when I called up gardai the woman there said ‘we can’t do anything’ because ‘we didn’t witness it and it is your word against his’. Wow.
