Before joining Krea University, she was a faculty member at Dr B R Ambedkar University, Delhi. Her work broadly examines the social relations around nature, state and capital in India. Her research interests include several overlapping thematic clusters: land, infrastructure and urbanisation; capital, value and economic growth; the metabolics of nature and labour; caste and rent; and state, sovereignty and social movements. She has contributed book chapters, research papers and reports, and media articles along these themes in national and international publications. As part of an Engaged Anthropology grant from the Wenner Gren Foundation, Dr. Sampat has curated the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livinghistoriesgoa.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Living Histories of Land in Goa Mobile Museum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr Sampat&#8217;s forthcoming co-edited volume, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsettling Land<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (University Press of Colorado), examines land and its affordances relationally. The volume brings together anthropologists and geographers studying land relations in diverse historically mediated sociomaterial contexts across the globe. The volume contributes insights from relational ethnographic practice, for contemporary politics. Dr Sampat is currently finalising research articles and a monograph based on her long-term ethnographic and archival work on what she terms &#8216;growth infrastructures,&#8217; the value relations of land rent, and their implications for land rights and economic growth in India.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr Sampat&#8217;s recent research fellowships and grants include an Urban Studies Foundation International Fellowship at the School of Environment, Education and Development, University of Manchester; a Wenner-Gren Foundation Workshop Grant; a Distinguished Visiting Fellowship at the Advanced Research Collaborative, The Graduate Center, CUNY; a Wenner-Gren Foundation Engaged Anthropology Grant; and a Public Policy Scholarship with The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy, Chennai.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prior to her PhD, Dr Sampat lived and worked in rural Rajasthan as a member of the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan for several years, working on issues such as the right to information, employment guarantee and food security.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-7792\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Research<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-7792\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-7792\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infrastructure, urbanization and land <\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The disciplining of more than human nature in capitalist relations<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caste, coloniality and the ontologies of difference<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">State, sovereignty and authoritarianism<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Economic growth and value relations<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-7793\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Publications<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-7793\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-7793\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Books:<\/p><ul><li>Forthcoming.
