Hello!

My name is Srishti, I usually go my Srish! I'm an interdisciplinary researcher working to study and examine community attitudes towards technology and visual data in a largely image-mediated world. I'm a PhD student in Rhetoric, Media, and Publics at Northwestern University, in Evanston, Illinois, USA. I am also a coordinator of jail education for the Northwestern Prison Education Program, and wear a few non-profit policy consulting hats in radical inclusion practices in education. In an earlier life, I used to be a speechwriter/policy adviser for the Greens Party in the Federal Senate of the Australian Parliament.

With a generous grant from the Alice Kaplan Institute for Humanities, I am currently designed a public project of eyewitness cartography -- layering community storytelling on top of geospatial data to create art projects. If a particular place or map is important to you, and you'd like to tell me your story of the place, please contact me using my email (written below).

If you would like to collaborate with me on data and critical theory based projects concerning people, crowd behavior, and digital environments, please shoot me an email at srishtichatterjee2029@u.northwestern.edu. I'm usually available on Mondays and Fridays for physical and virtual meet-ups.

Warmly, Srish.
