Profile

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Human Rights Studies at Lund University (Sweden). In December 2023, I defended my PhD thesis about NGOs as implementers of children's rights in India. Until 2028, I am working under an international postdoc grant from the Swedish Research Council to ethnographically investigate children and young people's possibilities for legal rights-based climate activism in India. This project is based at Lund University, but with collaboration with BML Munjal University (India) and Antwerp University (Belgium).
