I’m wondering how to adopt a critical pedagogy while living in a post colonial oppressive regime? How can teachers be agents of changes while they themselves are subjugated under the same oppressive power! I think the more I get critical the more I feel frustrated, because being critical in an oppressive environment is life threatening and is not enough because you can’t have a praxis to take action and thereby, bring change.

Keeping the focus on Palestine, even after the ceasefire and going forward, is crucial ...not to mention takes a great deal of courage given the backlash that comes with humanising the Palestinian struggle. Continued gratitude for using your platform for as a catalyst for raising awareness and fostering international solidarity. Much respect to you Dr. Raja.

Israel has already broken the ceasefire. This was an obvious smokescreen this whole time

Tonnes of thanks respected Professor for speaking your heart out over a topic that intensely pinches one's soul every single time. We, or at least I am, fully aware that you are not apathetic to the plight of those poor humans on God's Earth, rather far from it. Please take care of yourself and don't let yourself get into the crosshair of the satanic lobby, lest you end up in a similar position as Professor Norman Finkelstein. You are a pride of our country in particular and humanity in general and despite your modest outlook, you're not a coward. Thank you for always sharing your wisdom and may you continue to enrich our lives for many decades to come. ~ Qasim Gondal

Sir can you clarify my doubt about the healthy and terroristic signs of Barth's, being a part of semiotic theory can they be applied on text as semiotics is totally related to signs and symbols.

Ah! Thinking of relating 'internalized panopticon' to 'internalized cisnormativity' in some of my writing. 'Internalized transphobia' is a more commonly used phrase, but I think internalized cisnormativity points to the hegemonic system at play (norming non-trans identity). Relating it to the panopticon metaphor will be a fun way to add structure to how we surveille and police gender norms for ourselves and others. Again, thank you for your lectures.

Thank you. It is always nice to listen to your videos. Calm, intellectually nourishing. I am generally absorbing your discussion through the lens of how this information is relevant to critical trans* studies. I appreciate having your channel to help think about power, knowledge, identity, researcher positionality, etc.🌿

Thanks dear sir...I was worried as you turned off comments some two days earlier.

Reading this for my Literary Studies class and this has helped me so much, excited to listen to many more. Thank you!

I would like to thank you. I am currently working on a project for university on design principles within interior architecture in plays and this beautiful overview helped me immensely.

Thank you sir

Thank you so much for your explanation. It was very instrumental to me

Critical discourse and media analysis of the ways corporate media outlets manufacture consent and frame the settler colonisation of Palestine as “common sense” …across both liberal and conservative venues. You’re really excellent at it and it’s so useful for raising critical consciousness. Even with the ceasefire the brutal and illegal occupation and annexation of the West Bank continues… it’d be fantastic if you did a consistent series, even if 10-15 mins weekly, that historicises the Palestinian struggle. Dissecting a news segment or PR from US state officials would raise awareness and I think be useful to many. Keep up the stellar work whatever you decide! And thanks for the Building Better Worlds summaries too :-)

I recommend your fantastic lectures to all my friends, in dozens. You work is the real knowledge that makes a real difference. Many thanks Dr. Raja ❤❤❤

I'd be happy to watch videos about what an academic's life looks like, pros and cons of being an academic, how to be successful in life etc.

You are an inspiration for many teachers in Pakistan. I wish all the best in your future endeavors ❤❤

Your book reviews are always wonderful! Your work on PotO was incredible while I was reading it. I also love your idea recording interviews with scholars. As for which topics, I would really get a lot out of works that focus on the economics of dependency, imperialism, neoliberalism, etc. Works that continue to examine how the postcolonial thought as a field has changed over the years would also be enlightening. Thank you for all that you do regardless of what you choose.

I really enjoy your book reviews. I know they take some time but they’ve helped me learn a lot and expand my library.

Dear Dr. Raja, It is requested to cover the other theories in detail like post colonialism.

Hello Dr...would you please make a lecture on Ecocriticism?I'd be so grateful to you❤❤❤❤

Hello, sir! Could you cover gender and queer studies, especially their intersection with postcolonialism?

I am too insignificant and puny to suggest anything out of top of my head.. However, Professor sb, if you could give a platter of options YOURSELF and we'll respond in return, as you are the best judge of your own expertise and are familiar with the stuff that you've already covered in this precious channel. Anything that is on YOUR mind to explore further or to teach us further, would go a long way in helping us all.. Stay blessed Raja sb.. ~ Qasim Gondal

Sir, can you please do some cultural studies essays ?

Hello sir. Can you please do videos on essays by cultural studies critics like professing renaissance by louis montrose, stuart hall, etc?

I am teaching Postcolonial Literature and for a young lecturer like myself your channel has been of great help.

1:35 - it looks like this has been achieved already. the energy and appetite for R is there, but the education was cannily minimised to ensure the bourgeoisie appropriated it. I speak in past tense, but of course I have no idea if it's too far gone. The ruling class are the most critically aware among us. Despite that, the project is lifelong, and on we go therefore.

Very helpful! Thank you

talking about the signifier can sometimes become the signified, I was thinking about apply narratology to the study of art historyl. Let's say a depiction of fisherman as a signifier within a landscape painting; it can be also regarded as a signified when I analyze how contemporaneous artistic conventions and the artist himeself contribute to such a depcition. Am I clear in the above sentences? Thank you so much Dr. Raja!

In other words: we shall overcome

Thank you. Great advice. ❤❤❤

One of the best videos i have seen ♥️

Very informative. listening from Pakistan

Thank you, Sir, for your wise advice. A couple of years ago, I was struggling because of repeated rejections of my book manuscript, and I was blaming myself for not being good enough. I decided to extend kindness to myself and practice self care (sleeping well, eating hralthy, doing yoga), to balamce my moods as I continued to work a little each day toward my goal. I finally got a publisher and my book will be out next year 🎉 So I'd like to say to your viewers to extend that kindness and softness to yourself as well, and stay consistent in working towards your goals. Don't give up!

I have a presentation on Postcolonialism. Could you please advise me on what to include in this topic? I would greatly appreciate your help.

❤❤❤❤

Intuitively, I do this too. Thank you for opening up and speaking about this. You offer jewels of insight in this video and others as well. Sending you love and kindness. 💛

Great Dr. Anger management through emotional intelligence. Daniel Goleman's theory came to my mind here. The other thing I got here is detaching ego from one's human self, lest it should drive one.

Dear Dr. Raja, than you for this powerful. What you propose is such a charismatic thing. This is true wisdom.

You are our wonderful literary guru. We stand with you. KZbin will be a barren and wasteland without you. Go on, you have eager souls to take in your wisdom.

Your lectures are unique and very important. I always listen to them since I discovered it. I hope you continue them. Thank you
