Khusdeep is a Ph.D. student in Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia. This summer, she was a visiting fellow at Outline India. Trained extensively in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Khusdeep has worked at the intersection of public health policy and practice to examine the spatial determinants of health (especially health inequalities) in USA. In her Ph.D., she applies her training to investigate mechanisms of forced displacement resulting from ethnic/sectarian violence. Khusdeep's current research uses qualitative approaches to understand how people move and explore reasons for the decisions they make. Through a combination of ethnographic and archival work, she is also attempting to create a qualitative GIS mapping survivors' movements after violence.
