Biography
Dr Anshu Ogra is an Assistant Professor at the School of Public Policy, Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, India.
Anshu is part of the project, 'Elemental Adaptation: Water and energy security from artificial ice reservoirs' in the Department of Geography at King's. Anshu is also a member of the Centre for Integrated Research on Risk and Resilience (CIRRR).
Anshu is an interdisciplinary academic trained in Science & Technology Studies (S&TS) methodologies. She works at the intersection of knowledge institutionalisation and policy-making processes in Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Her work on CCA explores the issues around problem framing and knowledge discourse in climate change and how that impacts policy and planning.
In her ongoing work, she is exploring the operationalisation of DRR in India with a specific focus on scientific and administrative organisations and their inter-agency coordination. The broader aim of the research is to understand how institutions magnify/ reduce impacts through human-built systems and policies.
