Soumya Dasgupta (Shoumo)

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Architecture (History and Theory) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA.  I earned a Master's in Urban Design from the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, and a Bachelor of Architecture from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, Kolkata, India. 

My scholarly interests include neoliberal developmentalism, digital technocracy, Global South, and South Asia. My Ph.D. dissertation broadly explores the contested systems of architectural production in the rapidly transforming context of 21st-century urban India. My research has been supported by multiple fellowships and presented at academic conferences, such as the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH).
