"The ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently." -David Graeber
I am an Urban Conservationist and Associate Professor at the KRVIA. In 2016, I co-founded the Collective for Spatial Alternatives- a Planning and Research Collective based in Mumbai and have worked with various communities and collectives in the city on urban policy and planning related issues. Since 2011, I have been engaged in ethnographic research with the fisher community in Mumbai with a focus on impacts of coastal policy on customary rights and their livelihood commons. I am currently pursuing my PhD in sociology at the department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the IITB.
