I am interested in understanding the dynamics of power differences from multiple angles. Operationalising intersectionality to unpack how multiple identities like gender, caste, class, region and age speak to each other and take shape to perpetuate systemic inequality in unique contexts is of utmost interest to me. In particular, my dissertation is an ethnographic narrative attempt to study the way in which power shifts hands while looking at men in a certain marginalised context of India.
