Sohnee has a penchant for the past and the future which she has pursued and thrived in through university education in history, social work, and women's studies. Her worldview is shaped most significantly by a slow, non-metropolitan childhood in central India, which continues to inform both her academic and artistic pursuits. Sohnee has fieldwork experiences with a multitude of vulnerable groups—at-risk women and children in Mumbai, community health workers in Chhattisgarh, sex workers in rural Madhya Pradesh, and forest-dependent communities in Western India—which have strengthened her feminist consciousness and desire for collaborative work. After a brief stint as an educator at TISS, Mumbai, Sohnee became part of Economic and Political Weekly's digital initiative, Engage, which reimagines academic research in more accessible ways. Currently, she manages communication and advocacy work for a feminist non-profit in the education space. Sohnee is invested in thinking about sites of knowledge through questions of gendered labour, climate justice, productivity, language, and memory. In an ideal 36-hour day, I would like to do all of this through academia, grassroots work, and art.

Generally happy,  an enthusiastic storyteller, a potential illustrator, a trained but-out-of-practice dancer, a decent phone photographer, a novice baker, a slow-and-meticulous shopper, and an obsessive cleaner+organiser.
