Indivar Jonnalagadda

I am currently Assistant Professor of International Studies at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I received a PhD in Anthropology and South Asia Studies from the University of Pennsylvania in 2023, and an MA in Development Studies from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai in 2014. Between the MA and PhD, I worked on multiple research and community development projects as a Research Associate at the Hyderabad Urban Lab.

This website catalogues my publications and multimodal research outputs from a range of individual and collective projects. Most of these projects have emerged from qualitative and community-engaged research conducted in Hyderabad, India, since 2014. In the broadest terms, my research examines grassroots struggles around land and water, everyday practices of governance, and processes of urban expansion. My first book manuscript titled Permanent Slums: Poverty, Property, and the Production of Second-class Citizenship is currently under review. I am presently working on a second project titled Everday Populism: Making Political Value in the Immoral Economy of a South Indian City.
