Ambedkar Initiative Podcast Series - Episode 2

Duration: 13:52

In this episode of the Ambedkar Initiative Podcast Series, Columbia College graduate Tommy Song interviews Augustus O’Connor on Gus’s experience annotating Ambedkar’s 1916 essay “Castes in India.” Gus paid close attention to the ways in which the contemporary social sciences affected and influenced Ambedkar’s thinking. Gus hails from Sewickley, Pennsylvania, and he graduated from Columbia College in May with a degree in English. He is particularly interested in post-conflict and postcolonial literature and theory. Gus was recently awarded a Fulbright, which will take him to Vietnam, where he will travel in January to teach English to university students.

The Ambedkar Initiative Podcast Series is a project of the Ambedkar Initiative at the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society, Columbia University, with support from the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement.
