Prince Tomar is a junior researcher at the Centre for Landscape and Culture at Tallinn University, Estonia. With a background in Global Studies and Literature, he focuses on the dynamic border regions of India, exploring how infrastructural development projects reshape their meanings and landscapes. His research is deeply rooted in ethnography, emphasizing the lived experiences of people in these border areas.
In addition to his academic pursuits, he writes poems and seeks to bridge the gap between ethnography and literary studies. His current project examines the socio-spatial transformations in the Indian Himalayas, driven by the rapid expansion of road networks.
Beyond his scholarly work, he enjoys early morning cycling on empty roads, a practice that fuels his creativity and provides a peaceful start to his day.
"An object becomes a symbol when its own nature is so clear and so profoundly exposed that while being fully itself it gives knowledge of something greater beyond." - Yi-Fu Tuan, Space and Place, 1977.
