About

I am a doctoral candidate pursuing a combined degree in Anthropology and Forestry and Environmental Studies.  My research interests include the anthropology of environment and development, agrarian studies, political ecology, the anthropology of markets, and political anthropology.  From 2007 to 2008 undertook 18 months of doctoral fieldwork in the central Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, where I examined the promotion and practices of commercially-oriented organic agriculture.  I am currently in the final stages of writing my dissertation.
