Curiosity to learn and to share, keep my momentum going in teaching, training, curriculum development, research, and writing in the areas of Curriculum & Instruction, Multicultural/Social Justice Education, and English as a Second Language. I have educational and thirty-plus years of work experiences from India and the US: a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction, with a specialization in Multicultural Education, from the University of Arkansas, USA; and, an M.Ed. degree from Regional College (now, Institute) of Education, NCERT, Mysuru, India, majoring in Educational Technology.
I began my career as a research assistant in cultural psychology, working out of Mysuru City, India, for the research projects of Yale University and University of Michigan, USA respectively.
I was a teaching- and a research assistant at the University of Arkansas; and an assistant professor, Teacher Education Department at University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Kenosha, WI, USA. I taught as a Senior Faculty at Indus Training & Research Institute in Bengaluru, India.
I am an associate professor at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Central Campus, Bengaluru. I facilitate the learning of students in the educational psychology, physics, and education programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels respectively. I use the principles of educational equity with my diverse students to foster inclusion. I train early career faculty. I serve as a reviewer for the journal, Action in Teacher Education and Critical Education.
When not engaged in academic work, I listen to Indian classical music, and talks on philosophy, literature, art, & culture; tend to my plants; as well as read nonfiction and fiction.
My book, Narratives of South Asian and South Asian American Social Justice Educators was published in May 2022.
