Proven ability to source data and documents to support research program of the
Institute.
To support my research, I transcribed Tulu manuscripts and unpublished
material to English. I painstakingly went through government records, land and
property listings to reconstruct the socio-economic conditions of the time. I managed
to record some folk and oral retellings of myths that resonate closely with the
Mogaveera community. These mythologies have been gathered from the elderly while
participating in communal rituals and festivities.
I obtained some valuable information from interviews with a slew of
personalities such as some regional historians, writers, folk artists and social
scientists. I managed to track down sources that were out of circulation and extract
anecdotes from the memoirs shared with me by the interviewees. Moreover, it was
synthesized in a manner befitting the standards of research without compromising on
academic integrity.
5. Strong written and oral communication skills, including the production of media
reports and policy reports
I do possess strong written and oral communication skills. The former is
largely due to my academic training whereas the latter stems from my experience
working as a manager in a restaurant for a year. During the course of my higher
education, I compiled several academic reports and contributed articles recording the
proceedings of various conferences held on campus as a member of the editorial
committee. I am currently employed as an English teacher in a higher secondary
school. I am an able presenter as I manage to unpack complex concepts and ideas to
eager students on an everyday basis.
6. Demonstrated ability to work to deadlines and to set priorities with excellent
organisational skills.
My academic report is a testimony to my ability to deliver under pressure,
while always meeting stipulated deadlines. Due to my University training, I had the
opportunity to be a part of the organizing committee to host several National and
International conferences and workshops on campus. I was a core committee member
in organizing the III International Deleuze Studies in Asia Conference held at
Manipal.
