Rituparna Patgiri

I am currently enrolled as a Provisional PhD student in the Sociology Department of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi. I have submitted my MPhil thesis titled “The Social Nature of Food in India: A Review of Literature” in the Sociology department of JNU. I have completed my masters in Sociology from Delhi School of Economics (DSE) and finished under graduation in Sociology from Lady Shri Ram College for Women (LSR), New Delhi. I have previously interned in organizations like North East Network, Self Employed Women’s Association and Outline India. In the past, I have presented papers in St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, National Law University Jodhpur and Delhi University. My research interests include gender, food, culture, urban life, migration and diaspora and have published papers on the same. I believe that good academic research can contribute in understanding and solving various social issues and strive to do that.
