Sanjana Krishnan

Sanjana Krishnan is currently a German Chancellors Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Prof. Johanna Hoerning, at The Institute for Sociology, TU Berlin, is hosting her for the fellowship year 2019-2020.

The annual fellowship allows researchers to work on their independent self-designed projects that would strengthen Indo-German bilateral relationship.

Sanjana’s project aims to understand ‘if and how’ Inclusive Waste Management can be an effective anti-poverty strategy for Indian cities. Social Inclusion is a key dimension of her work. The project focuses on potential reforms using case studies from Germany that highlight the fact that inclusive waste management capable of dealing with socio-environmental concerns for Indian cities is possible.
