Coming Soon
An ongoing research project continues to explore the intersections of mental health, care, and community. In collaboration with Kimberly Lacroix, I am extending our work on community mental health in Maharashtra. The earlier phase of the project titled Whither ‘community’?: Exploring community mental health within Adivasi society was supported by the Krea Faculty Fellowship. The current phase shifts focus to examine how rural-to-urban migration shapes experiences of mental health and wellbeing.
Together with Alex Bridger and Chan Arun-Pina, I am developing a new research collective called The Drift Lab. This initiative explores how lived and felt experience is shaped by spatial context and design. It challenges conventional, individual-centered models in psychology and offers a space for interdisciplinary experimentation and collaborative thinking on space, subjectivity, and method.
Ageing and Wellbeing in India is a volume of essays co-edited with Minati Panda, Neha Aggarwal, Saurabh Todariya, and brings together perspectives from phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and critical gerontology. The book rethinks the emotional and social worlds of ageing in India, examining experiences of loneliness, loss, melancholia, and generativity. This forthcoming volume will be brought to life by Routledge in 2026.
I have a forthcoming book chapter in the second edition of On Human Nature, edited by Michel Tibayrenc. Titled A Psychoanalyst Views the Self Across Civilizations, the chapter reflects the cultural analysis of self through a psychoanalytic lens. The title pays homage to Alan Roland, who wrote the original chapter in the first edition. Prof. Roland passed away in 2023.
