Sudip Bhattacharya is a Doctoral Candidate in Political Science at Rutgers University. A former journalist focused on exploring race in the United States, he is also an organiser for the Philadelphia branch of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Sudip has written articles for Jacobin, Protean Magazine and Black Agenda Report, among other outlets. He holds a BA in Political Science from Rutgers University and MA in journalism from Georgetown University.
On this episode, we discuss his new essay for The Hampton Institute, part of a new collection titled From The Academy to the Streets: Notes from a Working Class Think Tank, published by Iskra Books.
The institute describe the book as follows:
Penned by revolutionary organizers, educators, artists, and other cultural workers… Covering a wide terrain of topics — from anti-ableist photography, multinational unity, and the class struggle of trans youth to the united front, language, and architectural utopias-from a variety of perspectives — each chapter speaks to everyday people without sacrificing any intellectual depth or novelty.
In our wide-ranging chat with Sudip, hosted by Revol’s Bram E. Gieben, we cover a range of subjects — from the challenges and opportunities for working class organising in communities of colour, to the horrorshow of the Trump administration, to the politics of the critically-acclaimed breakout hit Star Wars show, Andor.
