The ANUBhasha Podcast
ANUBhasha is a collective of scholars working on South Asian language and literary traditions based at The Australian National University in Canberra, Australia. Our work currently is focused on the issue of 'Digital Repatriation in South Asia'. The current podcast series features conversations that ANUBhasha co-directors, Dr. Christopher Diamond and Dr. Stephanie Majcher, undertook with a variety of scholars, researchers, technologists, and community advocates who all work with digital spaces and cultural communities in some fashion. Through these conversations we try to figure out what responsible, community-oriented digital scholarship could look like.

Access, Privilege, and Purpose | Adrian Plau | Digital Repatriation in South Asia
In the first episode of ANUBhasha's 'Digital Repatriation in South Asia Series', Steph and Chris chat with Dr. Adrian Plau, the Manuscript Collections Information Analyst at Wellcome Collection in London (UK). He is currently undertaking a Headley Fellowship with the Art Fund (UK).
Adrian talks to us about his own work transitioning from the traditional practices of textual scholarship in South Asian Studies from a university environment to the GLAM and collections space where he asks us to consider why and for whom we do our work.
