    Eyeway Conversation with Dr. Nikhil Jain

    What does it mean to teach and lead in a system that was never designed with disability in mind? In this insightful episode of Eyeway Conversations, host George Abraham speaks with Dr. Nikhil Jain, Associate Professor of Political Science at Dayal Singh College, Delhi University. Dr. Jain reflects on his journey into academia and what led him to choose teaching as a profession at a time when expectations for blind professionals were limited. From entering classrooms where students were unsure how a blind professor would teach, to building meaningful engagement through dialogue and interaction, his story challenges conventional ideas of education and authority. The conversation also explores Dr. Jain’s role beyond the classroom — his work in university committees, election to the Academic Council of Delhi University, and sustained advocacy to bring disability into higher education policy as an issue of equality rather than charity.  In this conversation, Dr. Nikhil Jain discusses: His journey into teaching and political science Building student engagement without relying on visual cues Establishing credibility within academic institutions Bringing disability into policy discussions as a question of equality His role in shaping inclusive exam-writing policies Advocating for accessible textbooks and learning resources Making admissions and academic processes more inclusive Need guidance on living independently with blindness?
