Biography

Lindsay Vogt is a senior researcher at the Department of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies (ISEK) at the University of Zurich. Her research project, 'New Water New India', explores the intersections of high technology and national development in India, particularly focusing on the implications of private wealth and philanthropy in these processes. Lindsay examines water as both a vital resource and a political medium, investigating how it shapes and reflects power dynamics within society. Currently, she is finalizing a book-length manuscript based on her research. Additionally, her work delves into anthropological approaches to bereavement and end-of-life care, utilizing auto-ethnography to address themes of intercorporeality and material-temporal inheritances across generations. Lindsay has recently engaged in a new project that looks at the immersive experiences of water in urban commons across South Asia, Europe, and the United States, aiming to develop a mid-range concept of immersion that merges digital contexts with artistic presentation modes. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara, awarded in December 2019, and has taught at institutions including the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Emory University in various departments, such as Anthropology and Environmental Studies.
