Story content
As a researcher from India working on gender and sustainability, Harvard DASH and Open Access have been extremely valuable for my academic journey. Access to research is often difficult because many journals and books are behind expensive paywalls, which can be a major challenge for students and early-career researchers. Open Access platforms like Harvard DASH make knowledge more democratic and accessible. [Through] Harvard DASH, I have been able to read important research articles, theses, and interdisciplinary work that directly support my PhD research interests in gender, sustainability, energy transitions, and social justice. These resources help me learn new theoretical approaches, improve my research methods, and connect my work with global academic conversations.
