Research Title
Gendered Scenes in Delhi Hip Hop
More about Sarojini
I am an interdisciplinary urban geographer researching hip hop and urban space in Delhi. My doctoral project is grounded in ethnographic methods, and I collaborate with young people who are part of Delhi’s hip hop scenes to ask questions around fandom, virality, aspiration, and gendered identities and performance. My research is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, UK. Prior to beginning my doctoral work, I worked in the development sector, creating participatory research frameworks with young people across South Asia and East Africa. In my life and scholarship, I centre practices of collaboration and co-creation.
