Prabhat Kumar Jha is a pedagogue, writer and editor. He has worked with the Ankur Society of Alternatives in Education for the last thirty years. Prabhat has been instrumental in creating several writers’ collectives across five of Delhi’s working-class neighbourhoods. In collaboration with a team of facilitators, he has created spaces where the creative energies of children and young adults are drawn into intellectual practices, honed across multiple interactions with the locality, the city and the wider digital world. Over the years, these collectives have created an extensive body of published work in the form of anthologies and articles. Prabhat has led these young writers and researchers to collaborate with leading international academic institutions and universities. Prabhat’s work can be located in the interstices between pedagogy, literature, urban studies and labour.
