Kuntala was trained in Human Geography at the Calcutta University in India and taught in Burdwan University before joining the ANU in 2002. She manages the Environment and Resource Management Graduate Study Field of research at present and convenes the gender specialisation in the Masters in Applied Anthropology and Participatory Development (MAAPD). In addition, Kuntala teaches courses on Exploring Gender and Development (ANTH 8038/39) in the first semester (February-June) every year.

Research interests/expertise

Women, gender and development; environmental sustainability; women's empowerment in relation to water and mining; communities' roles and livelihoods in natural resources, such as in large-scale and artisanal mining, and the water and sanitation sectors (see the Gender Water Network and the Empowering Communities websites). Themes currently being researched include artisanal mining (see the Artisinal and Small-Scale Mining in Asia-Pacific Portal) and community-based natural resource management.

Kuntala's research is primarily on South Asia, mainly India, but also Bangladesh and Indonesia. Doctoral candidates currently working with Kuntala are writing theses on gender and development, water resources management, informal mining and sustainable livelihoods in mining areas.
