Debojyoti Das

I am an anthropologist of South Asia, focusing on the borderlands of eastern India and the Indian Ocean; my work is deeply interdisciplinary, bridging my training as an ethnographer with archival research and extensive use of visual and oral sources. My current research aims to study coastal calamities and social resilience in the Bay of Bengal-Indian Ocean rim. I am interested in anthropology of development, applied anthropology, environmental anthropology and climate change. Besides academic publications I have contributed to newspapers, blogs, photo exhibitions and delivered public lectures on invitation for wider dissemination of my research work. Also I have successfully applied for fellowships and research grants with academic colleagues in UK and Asia.
