Between 2014-2016, as a Research Associate on a Ford Foundation funded project anchored at Hyderabad Urban Lab, I conducted ethnographic research across three cities: Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam; collaboratively carried out analysis of policy discourse, geospatial data, and survey data; and helped build relationships and networks among grassroots activists and organizations; alongside other project activities. The goal of the project was to bridge (1) the gap between local experience in different cities and state and national level housing rights strategies; and (2) the gap between housing rights and allied rights such as rights to work, education, health and clean environment."
