Rana Ghose

Rana Ghose is currently pursuing doctoral research at the Institute for
Development Studies in Brighton, England. Prior to this, he had spent
two years freelancing as a filmmaker, video trainer, and photographer
for IDRC in a variety of countries, and prior to that, he was involved
in full time academic research, first as a graduate student in
economics and then as an intern with IDRC. His research interests
address genetically modified crops in India and the regulation that
surrounds their management, while his experience over the past two
years has convinced him of the power of using video as a participatory
research tool. Research and the visual medium are, in his opinion, and
due to his applied experience in each, forever to be linked in his
future work. He takes a lot of pictures.
