Student: So I’m enrolling in the course on violence, imaginaries and symbolic power?

Me:  Yes?

Student: I noticed that last year, Kiran was teaching the course, but this year it says someone called Dinesh is teaching it. 

Me: That’s correct. Kiran is taking up a research position this semester and won’t be teaching.

Student: I tried looking for background information but there was nothing on the faculty website about him.

Me: I’d say that’s because he’s new to the university - he just started a few weeks ago so I don’t think the biography stuff is up yet.

Student: Where is he from?

Me: Sorry?

Student: Like, where is he from?

Me: uhhh….I’m not sure, sorry.

Student:  His name sounds Indian. I just wanted to check. I’m just finalising my enrollment.

Me: I’m gonna go ahead and hang up now.
