About Me
I am currently undertaking a SEED-funded PhD which investigates local understandings and practices of building resilience to climate change. The research will focus on drought affected areas in the state of Maharashtra, India and use a gender and intersectional approach rooted in feminist and critical political ecology literature, as well as feminist readings of science and technology studies. With my research, I want to create more politically aware and socially just conceptualizations of climate resilience, critiquing mainstream liberal approaches. To do so, I will work to empower alternative resilience practices that are sensitive to questions of gender and the realities of people living in rural communities.
