Biography
Suraj is a final year PhD candidate in the Department of Development Studies.
He has a BA in Political Science and Masters' in Development and Labour Studies from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. Suraj has worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for the courses on Political Economy and Development. Suraj's present research studies labour relations under Neo-liberal capitalism, with specific focus on India and modern techno-savvy workplaces.
Research interests
Suraj's research interests are focussed around the question of how to imagine and understand the emerging labour relations in modern workplaces. He is interested to study the interrelations between technology, organisation, and everydayness of working (every day work experiences) in our times.
Although he specifically studies this with reference to India, he is more interested to bring out patterns from a case study that connects Global South and the Global North. He has tried to study these interrelations by taking a case study of E-commerce Warehouses in India.
Through his study Suraj re-imagines and attempts to connect the recent Labour Regime approaches with Labour Process theories, by innovatively deploying Anthropological Extended Case Study Method in his research.
