About
Research Area
As an Anthropologist my basic specialization lies in the field of Social Cultural Anthropology with Medical Anthropology and Qualitative Research Methods as the specific areas of expertise. I have more than fourteen years of research experience in the fields of Reproductive Health and Gender Studies as part of Junior Research Fellowship Program– ICMR under which I did my PhD, and subsequently during my teaching career as Assistant and Associate Professor at Pondicherry University, Puducherry. I intend to achieve excellence in both the fields of teaching and research so as to bring about a plausible improvement in people’s lives. The goal is to consistently work towards, a scientifically conducted process of data collection, evidence based research, research driven policy making and, people friendly program implementation.
