My research is situated within environmental anthropology and engages with questions of wellbeing through participatory and collaborative approaches. I was trained initially as an ecologist, and my move toward anthropology emerged through close work with Indigenous communities in the eastern Himalayas. These experiences shaped my attentiveness to the gaps between well-intentioned conservation interventions and the lived realities they produce on the ground.
