As a public policy educator with 15 + years of grassroots, teaching, research and consulting experience, I have consistently felt that real policy issues and solutions can be learned from communities that go beyond traditional theories, models and frameworks. As an educator, I increasingly feel students in today’s disconnected world must be nurtured as compassionate listeners and empathetic human beings – two critical skills I learned during my own experiences while working in the space of grievance redressal with communities. In order to therefore inculcate these qualities, students must nurture their skills in an immersive learning environment through field work, community interactions, interactive seminars, using tools such as participatory research and decentralised thinking.

Through the FFEL program, I aim to deepen and expand my writing on pressing policy concerns, ethics and public policy and innovations in teaching and learning. My goal is to use writing as a tool to inform, educate and foster dialogue between academic institutions and the wider public.
