ABOUT

Hi, I am PAVITHRA G - an educator and a PHD scholar. A classroom feels like home to me. I'm curious about people and their stories. I have always been a little confused in the most sincere way. I romanticize ideas and then question why I romanticize them. I think deeply about things, and then think about why I am thinking so deeply. For a long time, I felt like a girl who was everywhere and nowhere at once but present, observant, absorbing everything, yet unsure of where I truly stood.

Over the years, I’ve come to recognize the things that refuse to leave my mind - words, a paragraph, a film scene, a statistic, some incredible people, a passing remark. They stay. They stretch. They insist on being understood. I am often both inspired and unsettled by the world.. I was  trying to become a person, shaped and sharpened by what I see others becoming.

My PhD research sits at the intersection of gender and labor markets, with a focus on female labor force participation. Trying to spill my thoughts here on Gender studies, a bit of commerce, business and economics, sociology, policy & politics, people, books and films that refuse to leave me. 

A woman and her mind that won’t quiet down, a heart that feels too much... trying to make sense of both..
