Biography

I am interested in all aspects of knowledge, its anatomy (structure), physiology (functional dynamics), genesis, growth and reproduction in ontogeny as well as phylogeny, sociology and politics included. My philosophical inclination is towards naturalised and evolutionary epistemology, and my ontological commitment is that reality is a network (organic) and more oriented towards complexity and systems theory.

I am a coordinator of the metaStudio project, work at Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, TIFR in Mumbai (India). metaStudio is a futuristic academy for collaboratively designing life in a way that addresses learning as part of life. It is a studio for architects of life and education.
