I am interested mainly in the changes in the field of Education, especially higher education after 1990s. I would like to explore and analyse the impact of globalization on education. It is interesting to locate how such attempts transform social system, which has proven many times that it cannot be replaced as such. During the last four years, I have particularly focussed on the impact of neoliberal policies on education. I have contributed a chapter titled "Public Sphere and Educational Policy Transformations in Kerala' to an edited book published by Routledge.
