Shagufta Bhangu

Shagufta Bhangu is a PhD candidate in sociology and social anthropology at Shiv Nadar University. She is also a member of the Climate Change Group at the Department of Sociology, Delhi School of Economics. Her research interests include science, technology studies, and medical anthropology; in particular, she is interested in exploring understandings of the body and bodily experiences, and debates around nature–culture, subject–object, and human–nonhuman. She is studying these key themes through two parallel registers: firstly, the attempts made by medical knowledge to understand, trace, and treat pain, which remains a particularly elusive category that resists measurement; and secondly, the attempts of meteorological science both to track air quality and to make this information available, accessible, and comprehensible to city dwellers, as has been attempted through SAFAR (System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research) in Delhi.
