Krea, this Week

25 - 30 Apr 2026

A Roundup of the Kreaverse

Amid the noise of crisis, as the world oscillates in turbulence, the need for an adaptable and resilient learning experience becomes more and more imperative. Moulding learners who are tenacious, who can stitch together answers to old and new problems, is an ethos that is right at the heart of the Krea mission. And in doing so, new initiatives, in line, add strength and conviction to our path forward. This week we are excited to announce the launch of Krea's first ever Dual Degree programme, in collaboration with Macquarie University, Australia. We are also thrilled to see the experiences that are shaping up at Krea Summer School and look forward with joy at the young incoming cohort of the Epsilon India Math Camp. Like it has been all summers, this Krea summer too continues to be exciting.

Webinar

On 28 April 2026, Dr Sambaiah Gundimeda, Associate Professor, Politics, School of Interwoven Arts and Sciences (SIAS) delivered an online talk for the Bahujan Students Front at the University of Hyderabad titled ‘Educate, Agitate, Organize: Dalit and Black Visions of Liberation’. The lecture offered a comparative reflection on the Black civil rights movement and Dalit struggles for equality, highlighting how both traditions challenged systems of inherited hierarchy through ideas, protest, and collective organisation. It examined the contributions of thinkers such as B R Ambedkar, Jyotirao Phule, W E B Du Bois, Martin Luther King Jr, and Angela Davis, while exploring themes of dignity, democracy, representation, and student responsibility. The talk concluded by emphasising the continuing relevance of education, agitation, and solidarity in confronting contemporary forms of exclusion and injustice.
