My current project is my doctoral research, which seeks to understand the relationship between self and subjectivity in the making of counselors in urban India. I am interested in how training responds to the constraints and affordances of caste, gender, and class positions among urban youth in contemporary India. I am currently writing up my dissertation based on a year-long fieldwork stay at a training program in Bangalore.
My previous project as an MPhil student sought to understand evidence-making practices in addressing the side effects of COVID-19 vaccines on menstrual cycles. I interviewed menstruators and doctors in India in 2021 and 2022. It resulted in my dissertation and sustained my interest in truth-making and expertise in healthcare contexts.
