Hugo Gorringe is a sociologist whose work primarily focuses on political sociology, social movements, and identity research centered on South Asia, particularly India. His research investigates the dynamics of social political movements, with a notable emphasis on the struggles of Dalits (ex-Untouchables) in achieving equality and deepening democracy in India. Gorringe's insights are detailed in his book 'Untouchable Citizens,' which analyzes the interplay between Dalit movements and democratization in southern India, along with his recent work on the institutionalization of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi party. He also studies the interactions between police and protesters in Scotland, particularly in the context of significant events such as the G8 meetings and more recently, the COP26 summit. Gorringe has supervised numerous postgraduate students on topics ranging from political participation to caste politics. In addition to his research, he teaches courses related to violence, social movements, and caste politics within India, integrating the findings of his research into his teaching, and extending his interests to examinations of culture and identity in Britain and South Asian nationalism.
