"The USF has played a crucial role in creating space for urban research that not only moves beyond academic spheres but also values embodied, decolonial, and insurgent ways of knowing. As a queer geographer working in and through the messy, affective terrains of urban India, this Fellowship didn’t just fund my research — it affirmed it. It gave me the courage and capacity to experiment with form, to centre marginal voices, and to hold space for joy, pain, memory, and resistance in my work. I remain in awe of the nurturing, and genuinely transformative support USF continues to offer its Fellows — during, and far beyond, the fellowship period."

Dr Dhiren Borisa, International Fellowship
