Conversation on the Pedagogy of Law and Poverty

Volume 13 Issue 4 ()

The NUJS Law Review was pleased to host Amita Dhanda and Saurabh Bhattacharjee for a conversation on the pedagogy of Law and Poverty on September 12, 2020. The Indian Academy, like Academies elsewhere, provides a privileged position to research and writing. Despite its labour intensiveness and long-time impact on the polity, teaching continues to be seen as an also-ran. In an effort to break this silence and to foreground the research and reflection that goes into teaching, Amita Dhanda and Saurabh Bhattacharjee decided to have a conversation on the pedagogic dilemmas of teaching Law and Poverty, a course both of them have been teaching for more than a decade in their respective institutions. The NUJS Law Review Board hosted the event as well as took responsibility to transcribe, edit and correct their loud thinking. In this dialogue piece, they reflect on their approaches to teaching the subject and discuss the various questions which they have encountered therein.
