Natasha has a multidisciplinary social sciences background with experience working with smallholder farmers and pastoralists in India.
She holds an MPhil in Development Studies from the University of Oxford, during which she researched resource related contestations among a pastoralist community in western India. Currently working with the Pastoralist Knowledge Hub at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Natasha is keen on bringing pastoral voices into global policy processes.
Through her PhD research with the PASTRES project, Natasha wishes to use approaches from geography, anthropology and political ecology to broaden conceptions of pastoral mobility. She is interested in nomadism, resource rights, the commons, micropolitics, and living life in technicolor.
