Biography

I am deeply interested in questions of knowledge, knowledge production and expertise in science and technology from an anti-caste, decolonial and queer feminist perspective that focuses on silences, absences and co-option. I have been writing/thinking in the space of critical technical practice, science and technology studies, anti-caste and anti-racist feminist studies and lastly in information science about questions of neoliberal development practices, progress, normativity, erasure and subversion. I am very excited to talk about inventive and creative methods for research, and am a true believer of the idea that method makes the matter.
