Profile
Manjima Anjana is an ESRC-funded PhD researcher in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the 91影视破解版 (2025鈥�2029).
Her research examines the politics of climate change mitigation, with a particular focus on Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) as a climate mitigation intervention and the politics of negative emissions.
Her doctoral research explores how CDR comes to be understood as a climate solution, how knowledge and expertise shape its development and governance, and how competing visions of climate futures are produced and contested through epistemic practices. Her research draws on critical environmental politics, Science and Technology Studies (STS), international political economy, and political ecology, with a particular interest in the relationships between knowledge, power, technology, and governance.
Alongside her doctoral research, Manjima has been a Research Fellow with the Global Research Forum on Diaspora and Transnationalism since 2021, where she has explored questions of mobility, justice, and governance.

Teaching summary
I contribute to teaching on the first-year Introduction to Politics module, supporting students in developing foundational knowledge and conceptual clarity across key political ideas and debates. My teaching emphasises conversational, discussion-based seminars that encourage students to engage critically with the material, articulate their own arguments, and learn through dialogue with their peers.
