Dr. Smriti Das is an Associate Professor in the Department of Policy Studies at TERI-SAS. Her research and scholarship are focused on areas at the interface of environment and development at local and regional scale. She specifically engages with topics such as environmental policy, processes and politics, forest policy and governance, institutional analysis, sustainable livelihoods and communities, decentralized governance, gender and resource politics. Her research is mostly interdisciplinary but for exploring some pertinent community questions, she uses ethnographic, historical and sociological methods. She also uses participatory methods in her research with the tribal and other marginalized communities. Some of her recently completed studies look at the land-water-community nexus in the mid-Ganga basin using a landscape approach; implementation of SDGs in the context of Delhi with specific reference to health and water and sanitation issues. With her doctoral researchers, she is exploring a range of topics such as gender and forest governance; unpacking of the concept of community in forest governance; mainstreaming climate change in local governance and planning. She has been tracking the implementation of the Forest Rights Act (2006) in India, from resource and institutional sustainability perspective. Dr. Das has taught courses such as public policy processes and politics, governance of natural resources, social research methods. Dr Das is also a project member of the UKRI GCRF project GCRF UKRI South Asian Nitrogen Hub (SANH), and leads a team on the nitrogen stakeholder analysis research component.
