Dr. Samira Agnihotri
Associate Professor, Coexistence Studies
Research Interests
Ecology, Animal Behaviour, Bioacoustics, Climate Change, Anthropological Linguistics, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, Alternative pedagogies
The overarching philosophy of Samira Agnihotri's research is ‘listening ecology,’ which aims to draw attention to diverse voices – human and more-than-human, and in doing so, encourage people to listen more -- to the sounds of nature around them, and to each other. Her work crosses disciplinary boundaries, from birdsong and bioacoustics to anthropology and linguistics, and is embedded in the eco-cultural landscape of the Biligiri Rangan Hills, where she has worked since 2004 in collaboration with the Solega people.
