About
Biography
At LSE, I am studying how media and communications shape the everyday lives of women in India’s Hindi heartland. Capturing their experiences at different stages of life and vocation, I seek to understand how women navigate the push and shove of culture in the age of social media platforms. I am a Research Associate for the Digital Futures for Children Centre - https://www.digital-futures-for-children.net/home.
Before starting my PhD, I was a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research Lab, India where I worked on civic participation and misinformation on social media platforms. I graduated with distinction from LSE’s Department of Government for my MSc, before which I was based in India. I attained a diploma in Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding from the Lady Shri Ram College for Women at the University of Delhi, and a bachelor's in Mass Communication from the Symbiosis Centre for Media and Communication. Before transitioning into research, I worked as a multimedia journalist in India, and have volunteered with women and children’s NGOs.
In London, I teach seminars for the LSE Summer School course ‘International Journalism & Society’ led by Professor Charlie Beckett, and as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) for LSE Sociology’s undergraduate course ‘Power, Inequality and Difference’ led by Professor Fran Tonkiss. My PhD research is supported by a studentship from the AHRC through the London Arts and Humanities Partnership. I can be contacted on my university email and welcome any queries about navigating higher education, especially from candidates who come from underrepresented backgrounds.
