Displacement and Emplacement: Studying Female Climate Refugee Experiences in Contemporary India In my dissertation, I analyze the nuanced experiences of female climate refugees in the indigenous and tribal communities of contemporary India, a topic that has received scant scholarly attention in mainstream academic, public, and political discourses. I primarily look at the idea of female resilience, as documented by these women in the literary endeavors, artwork, stories, and myths. To elaborate on the plurality of such experiences, I utilize a cross-disciplinary approach by drawing upon methodologies from environmental humanities, postcolonial studies, migration and refugee studies, oral history, and public and digital humanities, in their local and global context.
