Writing

As an anthropologist, I publish ethnographic research on the education development industry in India, and methodological reflexive work on anthropology itself. My research has been published in Anthropology and Education Quarterly, Emotion Space and Society, Anthropology and Humanism, and in edited collections. My monograph, Lifeworlds of Leadership: Entrepreneurial Subjectivities in Indian Education will be published by Routledge in 2026.

Lifeworlds of Leadership Podcast (2024)

In May 2024, I launched Lifeworlds of Leadership: The Podcast, an interview-based show to explore the subjective worlds of radical women education leaders in Delhi.

Co-hosted with Mainak Roy, CEO and founder of Simple Education Foundation, the interviews showcased alternative perspectives on education development by revealing what shaped the motivations and life-paths of these women, and how they imagine a better future for India.
