As a doctorate holder in International Studies from Jawaharlal Nehru University and as a recipient of the ICSSR Doctoral Fellowship in the field of Area Studies, my core research interests include international political economy, geopolitics, decolonization of indigenous knowledge systems, and policy analysis, with specific focus on the possibility of policy alternatives for the developing world. My attempt as a social science researcher has always been to provide for an insightful view of the behaviour, attitudes, opinions and motivations of people in relation to the contours of state policies. Accordingly, my research interest in international political economy as well as geopolitics emerged out of how it fundamentally throws insights into the likely behaviour of states. My PhD work on the Political Economy of Transformation in Zimbabwe, 1980-2013 sought to inquire into and understand the economic and political instabilities in the country as the consequence of the state system’s failure to introduce pragmatic policies in tandem with the socio-cultural milieu of the continent. My current research interest is centred on exploring the potential of traditional justice mechanisms in Sub-Saharan African countries to effectively complement conventional judicial systems, along with their ability to link justice to democratic development. My attempt has been to develop critical insights towards the idea and practice of justice in Sub-Saharan Africa, from a consent and justice- oriented informal system that accorded primacy to better access to justice to a purely state centred concept of the rule of law. Interrogating the modern justice system’s commitment to instrumental objectives such as reconciliation, accountability, truth-telling, legitimacy and reparation, and their role in restoring and rebuilding hope and confidence in conflict-ridden communities of Sub-Saharan Africa, has been the focus of my current research paper. I believe that inquiring in to the viability of the traditional socio-religious systems in promoting justice, reconciliation and a culture of democracy, equips me to initiate conversations on the Eurocentric bias or basis of the formal legal structures that most often obscures the lived experiences of indigenous communities world over.
Starting of fresh from the university after completing my masters in applied physics and with a specialization in solid state physics from Ramaiah University of Applied Science. Having interned in CSIR-NAL for my dissertation work in nanomaterials and application of the same in gas sensons, I am now aiming towards earning my PhD in condensed matter physics or material sciences. As part of School of Computer Science and Engineering, I bring with me the mindset that learning science will fundamentally help you in your career no matter what your field is going to be. Having grown around technology, I gravitate naturally towards computers and programming alike. I bring with me a liberal and open mindset that can understand the current generation, better relate to their problems and experiences. The amount of times I have lost in chess helps me keep myself humbled.
