As an early career researcher, I am deeply committed to investigating the intersection of gender, caste, and education, particularly within the context of Dalit women in India. This commitment is the driving force behind my academic pursuits. It is guided by a desire to comprehend the obstacles confronted by marginalised communities, specifically focusing on their experiences within higher education institutions. I recently completed my PhD in Education from the University of Sydney, Australia, where my doctoral research delved into the lived experiences, challenges, and resistance of Dalit women in higher education in Odisha, India.
This platform serves as a professional space for showcasing my work to fellow researchers, students, and the wider educational community.
