I work at the intersection of climate change, health systems, mobility, pastoralism, agriculture, extreme weather, water and sanitation, bringing more than two and a half decades of experience in participatory action research, advocacy, communication, and visual ethnography across South Asia and other climatically fragile settings.
As an ethnographer and former journalist, I use long-term visual ethnography to make visible the lived realities, knowledge, labour and agency that often remain overlooked in complex, remote and challenging geographies. My current work explores the relationship between climate change, mid-level actors, messy knowledge flows, and the explicit and implicit politics of visibility particularly how people and institutions navigate uncertainty, negotiate competing knowledge systems, and make everyday decisions when neither risks nor solutions are fully knowable.
