Statement of Interest:

I am thankful to Prof Debashish Banerji for his kind invitation to join this collective. My research on the anthropology and philosophy of objects and the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari critically confronts the advanced theoretical positioning of posthumanities. I find this a promising area in the domain of critical thinking.
