Profile

Shubhi Sharma aims to assess how the ‘technologies’ of REDD+ foster, maintain, or entrench the past histories of dispossession; inequalities; gendered identities and conflicts, and create different kinds of ‘environmental and gendered subjects’. Shubhi is also analysing the agency of the Adivasis in these processes, whilst not losing sight of the structural inequalities at work. The ethnographic study is informed by feminist and governmentality methodology, while also drawing from the notions of personal and impersonal domination in Max Weber’s work.
