Profile

Hailing from a remote village in the border district of Noklak in Nagaland, Chiangmong Khiamniungan’s educational journey has taken him from Tuensang to Kohima (both in Nagaland) to New Delhi to Hyderabad.

After securing his MA from Delhi University, he completed his MPhil and PhD at the University of Hyderabad. His MPhil dissertation treated the interpretive disagreement between Pierre Hadot and Michel Foucault on the ancient Greco-Roman philosophical notions of the nature of the self while his PhD thesis sought to develop an extended account of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s egalitarian imagination.

His primary interest and expertise lie in political philosophy/intellectual history. He also takes a keen interest in Naga politics and history. He has published and presented papers on all these areas.

He also runs https://annotatedambedkar.com/ which offers fully referenced and annotated editions of Ambedkar’s texts.
