My research focuses on the role of collectives and sustainable agriculture in envisioning and creating alternative futures amidst agrarian crisis in India. I am interested in India’s many agrarian imaginaries, on-the-ground practices that comprise economic and ecological alternatives, and the roles of gender, temporality, and representational politics within visions and formations of economic futures.

I received an MSc (with distinction) in gender at the London School of Economics and Political Science and a BA (with honors) in religion and economics from Amherst College.
