This is a conclusion to parts 1 & 2 of  Carceral Casteism. It is one of two, and you can listen to either or both, in any order as you please. I know I usually give these huge show-notes/accountings/missives for each episode, but, to be honest, you've all been following along, and they're both pretty conclusive, as listening experiences go.

So, I'm just going to use this time + space to make my acknowledgements, and give thanks.
This series would not at all have been possible without the time & work that Nikita Sonavane, Sanjana Meshram & Rev Dr John Boopalan do. By this, I mean their scholarship & writings that I think everyone should read, and also their generosity in agreeing to share their expertise for this series. I really hope I was able to do their learning & labour justice.

I'm a total newbie to audio in the sense of formal training, but it's a medium that I also find to be really generative, & also shows the sheer breadth & depth of knowledge, media, art, analysis & conversations that influence  & guide my thinking & my convictions.
