About Mayuri Patankar

Mayuri is an ethnographer and scholar of religion. She holds an M. A. in Religious Studies (Emory University) and an M. Phil in English Literary Studies (Delhi University). She is also a Research Collaborator on the AHRC/ARC-funded Gondwana/Land project. Her scholarship examines the literary and material cultures of central Indian communities and contributes to the debates on decoloniality. Several years of fieldwork and archival research with Gond Adivasi communities have shaped her pedagogy, grounding it in ethical plurality and in the realities of multilingual settings. She works across Gondi, Halbi, Marathi, and Hindi. 

She also brings strong awareness of genre to both writing and pedagogy, alongside a sustained commitment to public scholarship. Her public writing has received support from UNESCO-Sahapedia and the Luce-funded Sacred Writes programme. She has published on the afterlives of Victorian illustrations in Gond revivalism (Seminar), on Gondwanaland as a political claim (Summerhill: IIAS Review), and has a forthcoming book chapter with the University of Pittsburgh Press.
