Chinnaiah Jangam is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Carleton University. His research focuses on the social and intellectual history of Dalits in modern South Asia, illuminating the histories of marginalization and resistance through the lens of Dalits. It attempts to construct an historical narrative of anti-caste epistemology as a stepping- stone to an ethical and egalitarian world. His first book, Dalits and the Making of Modern India, was published by Oxford University Press in 2017. He is currently working on several projects, including a memoir about his mother and a translation of the Telugu classic Gabbilam (The Bat).
