About
I am currently a post-doctoral fellow in the Social Dimensions of Environmental Policy strategic initiative at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign's Beckman Institute, based primarily out of the Department of Geography. I received a PhD from the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California, Berkeley in 2010 with a designated emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies. My research interests can be broadly situated at the intersection of political ecology, urban geography, and cultural anthropology and encompass three main thematic areas: the political economy of market-oriented urban water reforms, collective action and the everyday state, and chronic flood vulnerability at the peri-urban interface. My thesis investigated the political ecology of water at the globalizing edges of Bangalore—a frontier of informal urbanization undergoing profound and little understood transformations in space, resources, and systems of governance. In particular, I investigated how practices of collective action and insurgent citizenship among informalized and marginalized populations encounter and renegotiate the implementation of market-oriented water policies. I previously worked at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in New Delhi, the Asian Development Bank in Manila, ENDA-Tiers Monde in Dakar, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change secretariat.
