Jyoti is a Lecturer in Property at the University of Melbourne. During her academic training as an architect, urban planner, and real estate professional, Jyoti developed an interest in those negatively impacted by developmental activities due to the loss of land and property rights and later conducted a PhD on this topic. Her latest book, ‘Functionings of Land’ Jyoti applies the economic theory of ‘capability’ to understand the wellbeing of those who are dispossessed of their land. In complementary work, Jyoti is working towards designing a ‘resilient compensation mechanism’ for those affected by natural and man-made disasters in Australia, India, and Japan. Jyoti also works on institutional aspects of housing markets. In a co-authored book Development paradigms for urban housing in BRICS countries she has identified the aspects of institutional arrangements that cause housing markets to fail.
