Was wonderful to be speaking Faculty of Law yesterday on 'strategies for decolonising legal education'. Particularly because it was in the room where I had most of my BCL seminars! Took me back!

Saw a fantastic, visceral, intense exhibition by #JesseJones performed by Stephanie Lamprea Ikon called Mirror Martyr Mirror Moon. Captures the horror of life under patriarchy. Then chatted with Jones about what dinosaurs actually looked like. Conclusion: giant seagulls :P

"The language of decolonisation in the context of the BNS, BNSS and BSA is therefore at best empty and rhetorical; and worse still, a means to mask the continuation of coloniality in our criminal laws." Rishika Sahgal writes for our latest forum series. sociolegalreview.com/post/decolonis…

Was wonderful to present my research on resisting displacement and re-shaping cities of the Global South through participation procedures at the annual conference of the Association of Human Rights Institutes in Lund, Sweden.

Students, youths, and the working class unite against the Bulldozer-Builder Raj at Jai Bhim Nagar! Together, we marched from 'Sabki Library' towards Begumpura, asserting our right to housing and dignity! Against the systemic oppression of the working class and dalits! 1/8
