@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!

As universities engage in more "death spiral" cuts to academia, we need to focus on the intense bureaucratisation of the C21 university. A wannabe D-VC implements travel management outsourcing, and massive costs ensue. They've moved on before the disaster unfolds: academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

The Fulbright program seems to be at risk. As a former Fulbright scholar that is devastating news. The US risks losing its knowledge base and contacts. woub.org/2025/03/07/f...

My most boomer trait is wanting documents as email attachments, not via fiddly sharepoints or collaborative facetube interfaces or God forbid, invitations to a shared MS Teams channel *shakes stick at sky*

3 years ago today this labour of love (by others), tears (all mine) and dedication (mine too) came out. It was maybe the worst career choice for all the years it took to write. And then, once out, it changed my career. I will never stop being grateful to everyone who has propped me along the way.

My latest piece in Global Constitutionalism. While it contributes to a somewhat niche debate, it might interest you if you are keen on the debates on the Basic Structure Doctrine or the Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments Doctrine. Open Access Link: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

You: Dress for the job you want. Me in my writing pajamas at 3pm: Got it.

go.bsky.app/Qiev8C5 @rupavardhini.bsky.social and I have put together a starter pack of scholars working on global south constitutionalism. Let us know if you would like to join us!

Definitely picking this up. Guarantor institutions such as the NAO and other SAIs are so important yet not written about enough.

Wrote this chapter a while back and my views have moderately evolved since then but in the below piece I argue why constitutional scholars need to look at times beyond constitutional law as a solution to populist authoritarian projects. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...
