< Back Ms Sharon Susan Koshy I'm currently working in the areas of Indo Pacific affairs, foreign policy, diplomacy, and security studies. I have a masters in International Relations and Political Science and an M.Phil in Political Science from University of Hyderabad. My earlier research work mainly focused on gender politics and regime change, and refugee studies. I'm an IR enthusiast and love reading history, because I believe historical understanding is crucial to analyse anything contemporary. I often describe myself as an angry poet and calm painter, two of my most important creative spaces. Besides, I do cartography and reproduce maps for fun. In my current organisation, I'm an IR researcher focusing on the Indo Pacific, the geopolitics of China in the mix and QUAD's engagement with the region. I thoroughly enjoy reading and writing and communicating the learnings to an audience. Publications
