Shreyashi Dasgupta works as a Lecturer in Critical Social and Political Geography at the Department of Geography and Planning, University of Liverpool. Prior to this, she was the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Geography, University of Cambridge, and a Research Associate at Homerton College. Her work focuses on urban housing, infrastructure, and everyday politics in South Asia. Shreyashi’s doctoral dissertation, “The Accommodation City”, explores the emerging forms and processes of temporary accommodation (dormitories, mess housing, work-residence rentals and room sharing) for low-income workers in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Mumbai, India. She is interested in studying how accommodation matters “in” and “for” cities.
