Doctoral candidate

I am a doctoral researcher at University of Bonn working on: "pathways, mobilities and climate change: journeys of labour migrants from the Sunderbans Delta in India." I am particularly interested in ethnographic stories about climate migration; delving to research more on linkages between climate governance/policies in Global South and climate-induced migration. After studying political science in Calcutta, I completed my postgraduate studies in journalism in Chennai, India. As a correspondent and editor at the Time of India, I edited content, and managed media content and everyday news story packages. I simultaneously completed my Master's degree in International Relations. I then worked as a junior researcher in Bengaluru where I teamed on an ethnographic study on borderlands and marginalised communities in the Indo-China border. In addition, I also developed a keen interest in studying the sociological impacts of climate change while working on a project investigating the governance of water security in India. During this time, I have been a network builder for the International Peace Research Initiative (IPRI) supported by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung-India office and remained an editor and writer for several in-house publications of the research institute.

About the Migration Network Hub

What is the Migration Network Hub?

The Hub is a virtual “meeting space” where governments, stakeholders and experts can access and share migration-related information and services. It provides curated content, analysis and information on a variety of topics.

The Hub aims to support UN Member States in the implementation, follow-up and review of the Global Compact for Migration by serving as a repository of existing evidence, practices and initiatives, and facilitating access to knowledge sharing via online discussions, an expert database and demand-driven, tailor-made solutions (launching in 2021).

What content is displayed in the Hub?

The Hub aims to help you find information on migration, ranging from policy briefs and journal articles, existing portals and platforms and what they offer, to infographics and videos. The different types of resources submitted by users undergo peer review by a panel of experts from within the UN and beyond, before being approved for inclusion in the Hub. To provide guidance to users based on findings of the needs assessment, the content is ordered so that more comprehensive and global resources are shown before more specific and regional ones. Know a great resource? Please submit using the links above and your suggestion will be reviewed. Please see the draft criteria for existing practices here.
