CV / Biography
Lovleen is currently pursuing three strands of research: (i) multi-level and multi-actor regulation of antimicrobial resistance in the environment, (ii) environmental duties of natural and legal persons inhabiting what is described as the global South (with her research in Africa funded by a British Academy-Leverhulme Small Research Grant), and (iii) water security and climate change in South Asia (as a senior researcher on an ERC Advanced Grant project). In addition, she has extensive research experience in law and policy relating to the environment, climate change, sanitation and water as well as related rights-based litigation in India. Lovleen has also worked on climate change and water governance issues in Southeast Asia.
