Graduate Student, Anthropology

I examine the ways in which geopolitics is comprehended, encountered, and, most importantly, asserted by marginalized communities as praxis for constructing a desired future and maintaining historical claims to ancestral lands through memory, narratives, and ways of being. My research is primarily in collaboration with Tibetan youths in the diaspora where I look at complexities of identity narratives, agency and political embodiment. My research is situated at the intersection of all these experiences. Methodologically, I am keenly interested in storytelling, films, visual experimentation, performances, and collaborative experimental films—as ways of engaging in multimodal practices of theory-making.
