ABOUT JO HEMLATHA
I am a social anthropologist trained in participatory, feminist and ethnographic research methods. My research has focused on understanding cooperation, care and kinship in activist networks and identity formation at the intersections of caste, class, gender, sexuality and economy. Though grounded in anthropology, my research engages with social movement studies, visual media cultures, and participatory development. I am a committed teacher of political and psychosocial anthropology, and a public researcher who works on multiple open-access projects bridging anthropology and advocacy, and work as a mental health workshop facilitator with Mithra Trust and freelance facilitator where I experiment with creative pedagogy. Currently, I am a Junior Fellow at the Center for Applied Transgender Studies and a producer on two personal projects, Almaarii and Transform with collaborators. My interests lie in curation, activism in academia, research, advocacy, intersectionality, and fighting oppressive systems together
