People's Park Soundscapes
The Phenomenology of Voice, Place, Perception, and the Body
2019-2020 - Senior Honor's Thesis (Anthropology)
Throughout the years of 2019 and 2020, I studied sound and the sensory within the daily life of People’s Park in Berkeley, California. I was inspired to address the Park as an historic landmark with a place-based history, and through oral history and ground-level audio ethnography, I found there has never been a social agreement for aesthetic standards. To explore means of decision-making and conflict resolution, I considered how the Free Speech Movement influenced the principles declared by the contemporary People’s Park Committee. I then paid attention to how a principle like “free speech” was not always granted to a vocal community like the homeless due to widespread political silencing. All throughout my field research, I inquired about values and qualities of speech and silence through an evaluation based around sound studies. In the end, I was led to explore how the atmosphere is imbued with the sensibility of liberation, which leads the Committee to characterize the atmosphere through the “free speech” principle.

Ethnography of Sahaja Yoga Meditation
Participatory Ethnography
Experimental Ethnographic Film Course - Spring 2018
Through the scope of anthropology, I explored participant observation during a series of meditation classes guided by devoted Sahaja yoga teachers at the Oakland Peace Center. I aimed to address world political power relations that incidentally evoke a spiritual path toward individual sovereignty. Upon the New Age movement, Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi inspired my yoga teachers to find a path through Sahaja. Three decades later, I sit in their classes and learn about their perception of the "kundalini awakening." A topic on the diffusion of kundalini led me to focus my ethnography on the perception of a spiritual paradigm shift across the globe.
