Three Assistant professors of the department of English has got their entries published in the Living Edition of the Encyclopedia of New Populism and Responses in the 21st Century which is being bought out by the famous publisher in academia, Springer. The following are the entries:
• Anish K Joseph – Disability and Populism
• Nithin Varghese – Populism and Governmentality
• S Jerome – Democratic Sovereignty and Populism
This book mainly seeks to explain, define and update the recurring forms of populism in the 21st century. Populism has become a hot button issue in the recent times. The UK's Sunday heavy The Guardian published about 300 articles in 1998 that used the term "populism" or "populist" and by 2016 its use had skyrocketed to over 2,000. And growing. Probably the single greatest catalyst to date that injected populism into the world's Internet common discourse, that infused it into journalism right, left and center and awakened populist political activism was the Great Recession of 2007-08 and the subsequent global deprivations it engendered. In today's world populism promises to remain and renew its intensity due to the covid-19 pandemic's deleterious effects on most nations middle and low-income groups, specially minorities. These are some reasons among many why it is time for populism to be relocated, identified and given refreshed 21st understandings.
