How can we care for candidates during the academic hiring process? In all the talk for taking mental health seriously, this is an oft forgotten area in academic departments.
Oh boy do I have *thoughts* on academic job hunting, institutional processes / practices, (lack of) care and candidate wellbeing.

Controversial human rights issues—abortion, surrogacy, queer rts, etc., spark passionate religious and cultural debates. How do they shape court decisions in secular democracies? I explore this in my upcoming book, With God as Our Witness, and I enjoyed debating it at NLSIU. Thank you! #law #lawsky

@surbhikarwa.bsky.social and I organised a workshop on ‘Contemporary issues in Indian Constitutionalism’ 🥳 An absolute delight: sharing our work and feeding back into each other’s papers. By some fortunate accident, it was an all women’s forum. As accidents go, I couldn’t have planned it better!

Sometimes, but only sometimes, two wrongs can make a right. Based on an erroneous definition of transgender in a prior case, which was then codified, the Kerala High Court has found that intersex children cannot be subjected to surgeries based on parental consent alone.
