History (Hons.) Undergraduate | Research Interests: Heritage, Art History & Material Culture | Aspiring Master’s Researcher

About

Undergraduate History (Honours) student at the University of Delhi with a deep interest in heritage studies, art historiography, and material culture. I am particularly interested in how historical narratives shape the social, cultural, and economic value of art, objects, monuments, and heritage sites, and how these narratives evolve through institutions such as museums, archives, and academic scholarship. Currently engaged in independent reading and conceptual exploration in art history, heritage theory, and historiography in preparation for Master’s-level research, with the long-term goal of working at the intersection of academic research, museum practice, and the global art world. Alongside my academic work, I run an independent writing and curation platform focused on heritage, luxury, and cultural memory, and actively participate in debating and public speaking spaces that strengthen my ability to articulate complex ideas clearly.
