Simran Thapliyal is a writer and journalist based in London. She has lived in 15 cities and spent her childhood analysing varied cultural practices across continents. Her involuntary nomadic status was further exacerbated with a B.A. Honours in Economics (University of Delhi), A P.G.D. in Liberal Studies (Ashoka University) and an MA in Gender, Media and Culture from Goldsmiths University of London. Stuck in a philosophical no mans land, she has experimented with form to marry her creative flair with her analytic mind in her writings. In her M.A., she charted creative means with new sociological methods to archive intergenerational bodies of knowledges (pun intended). Simran’s writing interests include feminist science studies, trauma studies, decolonial literature, South Asian politics and film analysis. She makes sense of her eclectic interests and experiences though her writings on culture, personal essays, short stories, poetry and reportage.
