Of Global Sociology
My abstracts were anonymously reviewed and accepted into the conference programme. I have also been awarded a fully funded place by the BSA, covering the conference fee.
Accepted Research
Cloud Memories and Algorithmic Recall: iCloud, AI Sorting, and Ownership
Exploring how cloud infrastructures shape personal memory and how algorithmic sorting influences ownership and recall.
Rejection Re-Activates Unresolved Grief: Findings from an Archive-Led Autoethnography
Examining how rejection and grief resurface through personal digital archives and contemporary human experience.
Why This Matters
The British Sociological Association Annual Conference is one of the UK’s most significant sociology gatherings. Presenting here allows early-career researchers to contribute to global sociological dialogue.
My work sits at the intersection of technology, memory, archives, and emotion. Presenting this work publicly allows for academic dialogue and visibility for interdisciplinary research across digital humanities and sociology.
From Odisha to the World
I was born and raised in a small town in Odisha, India. My academic journey has been shaped through self-learning, scholarships, and cross-disciplinary practice.
From the Royal College of Art (London) to international academic platforms, I continue building work that bridges art, technology, and culture. Being able to present at BSA represents both personal growth and representation for students from under-resourced geographies.
