Teaching

I teach across thematic concerns of anthropology, political ecology, environmental humanities, research methods and place-specific courses within South Asian, postcolonial studies. Woven in an interdisciplinary approach, my teaching is often oriented towards making the classroom more interactive with space for students to use their experience to relate to reading materials.
