Hello! I'm Chetan S.V. (he/him/his), pursuing Ph.D. in Psychology and Disability Studies at the Department of Liberal Arts, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Shubha Ranganathan.

As part of my Ph.D. research, I'm exploring the experiences of young adults with Learning Disability (dyslexia/dysgraphia/dyscalculia) in the context of higher education, using qualitative methodologies, from an interdisciplinary approach including Disability Studies, Critical Psychology, and Anthropology. I'm also studying the structures and processes of Indian higher education institutes with functional disability centers/enabling units to support students with diverse learning needs.

My areas of interests include Disability Studies, Neurodiversity, Learning Disabilities, Critical Psychology, Qualitative research, Pedagogy of Psychology, and Psychotherapy.

In my free time, I sketch, sit with plants, play the veena, collect newspapers, solve puzzles, and listen to old Hindi film songs and Carnatic music.
