Shaunna started the Common Worlds project in January 2025 with Prof. Valerian Rodrigues in order to create and post short-form videos on contemporary academic writing related to anticolonial thought and action on social media.
Common worlds interrogates the political philosophy of Bhim Rao Ambedkar, Jyotirao Phule, the medieval Indian poet, Sant Kabir, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and many others who have shaped anticolonialism and democracy in the postcolonial world. In doing this, it aims to clarify how anticolonial thought reconstructed ideas of equality, self-respect, democracy, human dignity, constitutionalism, representation, and justice.
Their discussions can be found in short videos on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.
