Hi. I’m Nihal. (she/her – b. 1996)
So, I studied Political Science and Human Rights from the University of Delhi and Panjab University, respectively. These days, I’m really into anything related to the minds of teenagers, rebuilding communities, and social-emotional skills like empathy and curiosity. I do have to deal with social and emotional anxiety from time to time, but I’m working on it.
I’m currently a research student under the supervision of the amazing Dr. Meltem Alkoyak. I’m working on my PhD in Sustainable Development with a focus on Education for Sustainability, specifically looking at how social media affects emotional skills in rural Indian adolescents. In the past, I’ve worked as a research consultant for the National Human Rights Commission of India.
I’m a woman of faith, mostly Sikh. I live a pretty slow life, and I’m just your regular, everyday person. But, I’m creative and enjoy chatting about mental health, music, languages, and all the little coincidences life throws our way. I also enjoy playing NYT games daily and solving jigsaw puzzles in my office workspace. Reading fiction by authors from as many Indian states as possible is my plan for 2025.
I’m from Delhi originally, but I’ve lived in Ghaziabad and Chandigarh before I moved to Kerala for my PhD.
