Personlig profil
Forskningsintressen
I am a Human Geographer (PhD, King’s College London) with a background in Urban Policy (Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai) and Architecture (B.Arch, CEPT University Ahmedabad). My key areas of interest are legal, political and health geographies, spatial politics and social life of infrastructure, precarity and affective labour, planning and governance, and ethnography of the everyday state.Three overarching themes encompass my work and research interests:
· Entangled and conflicted understandings of 'publicness' in infrastructure and public services
· Moral politics of care
· Embodied mobility and socio-labours of the everyday
I examine these primarily through the empirics of public infrastructure and provisioning, interdisciplinary perspectives, and feminist and phenomenological epistemologies. My current work has a strong empirical focus on the postcolonial Indian railway, and I locate it within a broader aim of advancing contemporary railway studies through a truly interdisciplinary approach.
