She has completed her PhD from at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at IIT, Delhi. She has received her M.A. in Psychology from University of Delhi and completed B.A. (H) Psychology from Jesus & Mary College, University of Delhi.
Pallavi’s doctoral work focusses on Tibetan refugee identities along with the processes of leadership, and intergroup relations, with an emphasis on the social, political, historical, and geographical context. Her research lies broadly in the area of social and political psychology, primarily focusing on social identity and the context. She is interested in the construction, negotiation, and contestation of identity (ies) at a group level, looking to understand the cross-section of identity and culture. Vulnerable groups such as minorities and refugee groups are of particular interest to her, and her work has primarily focused on Tibetan refugees thus far.
