Tanvi Pate is a Lecturer in Security and Intelligence Studies at the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies (BUCSIS), University of Buckingham. She is also associated with the Institute of Continuing Education (ICE), University of Cambridge, as a Panel Tutor in IR.
Her research interests encompass the discipline of International Relations with a focus on critical geopolitics, specifically concerning great power-rising power encounters in the context of India and the global order, India’s bilateral relations, and the politics of the Indo-Pacific. She is interested in exploring the politics of state identity in terms of its temporal and spatial management and how this constitutes the state’s foreign and security policy.
Her research-led teaching encourages students to develop their skills as independent learners. Keen on pedagogical innovation, she aims to enhance students’ critical engagement with the subject matter by incorporating visual aids, questionnaires and subject-related in-class activities such as case studies, group discussions and role play.
She is a Fellow of Advance HE (FHEA).
