I am an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Liberal Arts at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. I have been working in the department since December 2011.

My research draws on a range of disciplines such as anthropology, gender studies, disability studies and critical and qualitative psychology. I have been engaged in qualitative explorations of local practices of healing among marginalized groups, as well as health and disability-related projects in India. My work is framed by critical and social justice perspectives, focusing on lived experiences and the role of advocacy for social change. I also have an interest in development issues related to health, well-being and disability. Currently, I am exploring questions around parenting and care in the context of autism as part of my engagement with the neurodiversity discourse in India.
