Krithika Srinivasan works as Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Edinburgh. Her research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of political ecology, human-animal studies, and postdevelopment politics. Her work draws on research in South Asia to rethink globally established concepts and practices about nature-society relations. Through empirical projects on street dogs and public health, biodiversity conservation, animal-based food systems and non-elite environmentalisms, her scholarship has focused on reconfiguring approaches to multispecies justice. Krithika’s research and teaching are deeply rooted in long-term field engagement and praxis in India. Krithika has previously worked as Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Exeter and Durham University, and as a researcher at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai. With the exception of a PhD from King’s College London, she was educated in India, including at TISS; her education and employment at TISS have had a particularly formative influence on her work. She continues to be involved in the Indian academy, and leads a collaboration to introduce and establish human-animal studies as a field of scholarship and education at TISS and India more broadly.
