My research interests are in medical anthropology, media anthropology and climate change. The emphasis is on empirically grounded research. I have done fieldwork in Tamilnadu, and briefly in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Connecting my research interests in health and media, I am venturing into the field of digital health. I have conducted research on health care decision-making, chronic diseases, globalisation, caste, kinship and gender. My fieldwork experience spans urban, rural and tribal areas in India.
I am currently supervising students working on diverse topics like education, maternal health, diabetic retinopathy, use of social media in elections, impact of COVID, and obesity.
