Tonisha works with a deeply diverse group of doctoral scholars from the School of Liberal Arts and IDRP Digital Humanities. The doctoral scholars under her supervision are studying First Wave Korean Fandom (Hallyu) in select locations of the Indian North-Eastern state of Manipur, digital haiku jams in Indian women's poetry, use of memes in digital cultures, and digital activism in Indian public spaces. 

She is also a member of the doctoral advisory committee of projects on electronic literature in India, detective fiction and gender in Bengali mainstream literature, Bollywood's influence on late twentieth century Indonesian cinema, and working women's and migrant literatures of India.

M.Sc. Digital Humanities students pursuing their postgraduate dissertations under her supervision are working on digital archiving, art practices, embodiment and autoethnography, ethical digitisation and archival practices around tribal and other marginalised indigeneous, embodied art forms.

She has acted as an advisor and examiner for projects on themes like digital ethnography and cancel culture in digital advertisements.

Tonisha regularly works with B.Tech. and B.A. students interested in conducting short-term group and individual projects. So far, political ecology, environmental crisis sensitisation initiatives, gendered environmental concerns, digital literacy, menstruation poverty, and digital pedagogical practices have been some of the key areas explored through qualitative surveys, mixed methodological ethnographic work, web development, gamification, and digital archiving.
