| Research Interests | Northern Rajasthan; Churu, Jhunjhunu, Hanumangarh districts. Development, gender, critical social theory, human/environment interaction, water resources. A geographer who conducts ethnographic research in the area of critical development studies. I am interested in the purpose, operations, and processes of development discourse construction, and the power dynamics involved in these processes. I am particularly interested in the effects of these processes on women's lives and spaces. Currently I am studying NGOs as sites (within a wider development aid regime) where meanings of development and modernity are created and negotiated. |
