I was part of the founding faculty of NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, where I taught sociology and law for a decade (1999-2009) to the BABL (Honours) class. I was also part of the team that introduced and taught the Masters Programme (LLM) in Human Rights in NALSAR, and was dissertation advisor for the first two graduating students. Inaugurating its research programme through a research grant on Criminal Justice and Human Rights, the path-breaking volume of which I was the corresponding editor, Challenging the Rule(s) of Law: Colonialism, Criminology and Human Rights in India (New Delhi: Sage, 2008), was an outcome of this project. The international Critical Legal Conference 2006, held at NALSAR, of which I was the chief coordinator in charge of the conference overall, assisted by a large cohort of undergraduate students, marked a watershed in the development of conversations around Law and Society in India and led soon after to the formation of larger networks nationally.
