About
Research Area
As an Anthropologist, my basic specialization is in the fields of Medical Anthropology and Anthropological Research Methods. I have more than ten years of teaching and research experience in the areas of Reproductive Health and Gender Studies. My research has focused on ascertaining the basic patterns of cultural behaviour that shape the decision making process during successive events of reproductive life cycle in both women and men. I have been adopting an ethnography based qualitative research approach to study the research problems. I intend to bring about a plausible improvement in the lives of people by conducting evidence based research, and engaging in research informed practice and policy making.
