PhD Student, Integrative Conservation & Anthropology, University of Georgia I received my Masters's degree in Environment and Development from the School of Human Ecology, Ambedkar University Delhi in 2016 and a Bachelor's degree in Commerce (Hons.) from the University of Delhi in 2012. My master's research focused on the spatial response of a wild herbivore species, Kiang (Equus kiang) to a nomadic-pastoral-indigenous community, Changpas, in the Rhupshu region (Changthang) in Ladakh, India. After my master's, I worked with the Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, India from 2018-21. We developed a Landscape Management Plan for Greater Panna Landscape in Central India in this project. These experiences shaped my research interests in environmental anthropology, politics of (knowledge, translation, and scale), landscape connectivity, etc. I plan to conduct my doctoral research on the interactions between humans and wildlife with reference to landscape connectivity programs in Central India.
