Ms. Whitney Russell is a PhD student in cultural anthropology at the University of California, San Diego, where she researches gender and development. Prior to undertaking a PhD, Ms. Russell completed an MA in sociology at Central European University and a BA in social science at the University of Michigan. She is broadly interested in how foreign development paradigms and interventions operate in the everyday lives of people and communities. She has studied this issue at a birth center in Honduras and with activists in Sweden, and is now turning her attention to what happens after these interventions fail or otherwise cease operations.
  
Ms. Russell’s research turns a critical eye to the after-lives of failed foreign development in a particular community. She is conducting a collaborative ethnography to better understand how development fails people, perhaps cumulatively, and what that might mean for development practice in the future. She is also interested in the ground-breaking legal changes that will move primary development funding away from foreign donors and toward private Indian companies, seeing this as a unique opportunity to reconsider the challenges of development and everything that is at stake. Ms. Russell was affiliated to department of Anthropology for ten months (January to October 2018)

Mr. Apel, on his experience of studying in University of Delhi.
After six months my semester at the Department of Anthropology is coming to an end. A good occasion to review my stay in Delhi. I remember the first week of being one of the hardest. After I arrived in the International Student’s House I had to cope with new traffic and weather conditions. Generally, a new life style. In the first months I had to adapt to a lot of things. I learned how to call a E-Rickshaw, how to bargain and how to cross a busy road.
After I settled in, University started. Besides some difficulties with the enrolment process I was very motivated to learn about the Indian approach to Social and Cultural Anthropology. Arrived at the department I noticed that the Department of Anthropology has not only a focus on Social Anthropology. Taking a walk through the classrooms I noticed that also fields like archaeology or forensic anthropology are taught. That was also the day when I met my guidance counsellor Dr. Avitoli G Zhimo. At this point I would really like to thank her for the warmly and open welcome. She helped me to choose the courses for this semester. With her guidance I decided to take three seminars: Urban Anthropology, Tribal India and Anthropology of Development. Visiting the classes and discussing problems with my fellow students introduced me to many new thoughts. It also sensitised me towards some problems that are mostly anchored in political, social and cultural life.
The social life on campus allowed me to find friends easily. After classes my friends and me met at the canteen, hang out in parks or undertook some day trips downtown. Summarised I am very thankful for so many experiences.
Most sincerely I must thank the faculty, my fellow students and my friends for making my stay at the University and moreover in India so exciting and formidable. May 2018.
