Megnaa Mehtta is a PhD candidate at the department of Social Anthropology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her research draws on long-term ethnographic fieldwork with a fishing community in the Sundarbans forests of West Bengal, India, a region home to 4.5 million people. She is interested in alternative forms of forest governance suggested by the various visions and vernacular political imaginations forests allow for. In doing so, her work argues for the inseparability of economics, ethics, and politics in trying to contribute to debates in environment anthropology and political ecology.
