Nishita Rao, MS, CSE, ECC

Nishita's practice rejects disciplinary boundaries and hierarchical gatekeeping, foregrounding accessibility as the foundation of intellectual and collective liberation. Her work traverses Sexual Sciences, Neuroscience, Anthropology, Molecular Biology, Behavioral Sciences, Political Science, Linguistics, Dance Ethnography, Ethnomusicology, and Paleoclimatology — approached not as discrete fields, but as interdependent systems of knowledge. She advances an epistemic framework grounded in accessibility, decolonial accountability, and platforms the Global South knowledge bases. Through a free resource library and community-based pedagogy, she ensures that Global South authors and thinkers constitute the structural foundation of her curricula and research philosophy. Her work reframes teaching as anti-capitalist, research as anti-establishment, and therapy as anarchical.
