Teaching
I teach on various modules within the Å·ÃÀ¸ßÇå Institute of Education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I also supervise Masters and PGR students.
Research Interests
Prior to joining the University, I worked in an interdisciplinary UKRI-NERC project ‘Voices of the Future: Collaborating with young people to reimagine treescapes’ focused on mapping activities and impact of environmental, and landscape associated organisations in the UK that engage young people, with a focus on the inclusion of young people from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
My doctoral ethnographic research explored children's experiences with agency in an indigenous community in Chhattisgarh, India. I unpacked children’s agency through a lens of relationality, illustrating how children’s agency is enabled with relation to their everyday physical spaces, material objects and social relationships. In my work, I draw from works of Indian and indigenous scholars to move beyond the Eurocentric frames of theorisation within childhood studies.
