Looking for a Research or Consultancy Position

[Yashi Srivastava]

Dear All, 

I, Yashi Srivastava, am currently pursuing my Doctoral studies at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. My registered thesis topic is ‘Food as Commons: Cases from India’. The study aims to understand the social practices undertaken by community members to share tangible and intangible food commons. For the research, I am examining multiple cases that value food as a shared resource ranging from a seed-saving collective, and urban gardens to a food rescue organization. I have employed qualitative research methodology using the case study method, informal interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation.  

I am currently looking for a research position in the areas of sustainable food systems, sharing economies, alternative food networks or FLW. I want to broaden my knowledge and skills and would really appreciate any leads regarding the same. I am currently based out of India and looking for remote opportunities. 

I would be happy to share my CV and any additional information required. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Regards, 

Yashi
