Delighted to be part of the journey as an external examiner for @ksgokul_'s stellar thesis on #Tibetan exile cinema. My copy is heavily annotated and dog-eared-- so much to make note of! It's a solid contribution to Tibetan studies in exile, and I can't wait for his next chapter!
I am happy to share that today, I successfully defended my PhD Thesis titled "Visual Narratives of Resistance and Liminality in Tibetan Exile Cinema" and was awarded a doctorate in International Relations at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Madras.
