Hello Academic Tooters (#AcaTooters), as promised, this is my first thread for desi academics (thought not limited to) who want to connect with each other in this new space, and create a virtual support system. Please introduce yourself under here with your name, field, area of research, geographical location (optional). Once we have the thread going, I'll create a list.
Will be also holding future threads on conference, publishing, writing, and other #AcaWoes you can think of.
Boost and tag!

@Paridhigupta #AcaTooters #introductions #india Hi! I'm Anirudh. I'm a geopolitics researcher and amateur historian. My focus area is the early medieval Deccan, c. 600-1100. I'm just generally interested in a lot of fields though so I'm looking forward to interacting with scholars and academics here and learning about their work!

(I'm also hoping to apply to Masters' or PhD programmes eventually and will be looking for guidance on how the application and funding process works)

@AKanisetti so tagging some people related to history @jnukiladki @saumyadadoo. Hey peeps this is an academic thread where I'm trying to build an academic community and safe space. so I just thought i'll tag you guys here (specifically history because anirudh wanted to meet other historians here). If anyone feels uncomfortable please feel free to respond (here or DM) and I shall delete this :)
@Paridhigupta @jnukiladki @saumyadadoo thanks so much for the intro, Paridhi! Lovely to connect with you folks 🤓
