Dr. Sen is an Assistant Professor at the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, RV University. Prior to this he taught at the Department of Political Science, St. Joseph’s University, Bengaluru. With a specialization in critical border studies, his research focuses on the logic of domestic-international linkage in foreign policy.
His doctoral work analyses the impacts of statist essentialisms concerning on-going conflicts, on discerning actor interests, grounds for intervention and resolution policies. His field work experience involves navigating conflict zones, and engaging with borderland communities to understand the impacts of state narrativization of conflicts on local lives and perceptions.
His research explores inequalities and insecurities in post-conflict zones. He is particularly interested in how informal negotiations and the replication of formal institutions shape local relations in the absence of the state. His work also delves into locally generated processes and adaptations that help stabilize communities in such contexts. Outside of academia, he enjoys films, football, and video games.
