Dr. Anup Sam Ninan is a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies on Science, Technology and Society (Austria). He works on an anthropology of climate change, especially of carbon markets. This work allows him to observe the multi-sited and networked practices that shape and create a global carbon economy. He traces the emergence of “carbon” at the intersection of emission reduction projects, energy and food. Dr Ninan for many years has been working across continents, studying at New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University (India), and completing his Phd at the University of Bremen (Germany). But he has been active outside academia, too: he has promoted a pharma biotech; had tryst with alternative media and films; been a dot com junkie; been in the fringes of political activism; functioned as a (successful) election campaign manager; written copies for advertisements; and been with (oxymoronic) corporate social research. Currently, in addition to academic writing, he is working on a photography project and a novel.
