Biography
Surya Sankar Sen is Assistant Professor of Politics and International Relations at RV University, Bengaluru. His research broadly explores the interfaces between people and governance, with a focus on the everyday interactions through which its authority is encountered and interpreted, particularly in conflict-affected settings. His research interests are especially attentive to borderlands as critical sites of inquiry, studying how contestations over identity shape state–society, as well as trans-local relations in these peripheral spaces.
He holds a PhD from the National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS), Bengaluru, and works across political anthropology, and peace and conflict studies.
