Ritu Manuvie

Dr. Ritu Manuvie serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Science at University College Groningen, University of Groningen. Her interdisciplinary research bridges climate policy, digital society, and human rights with a regional focus on India and the Netherlands, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals through critical analysis of global challenges.

Her research centers on climate migration governance, disinformation ecosystems, and nation-state dynamics, employing mixed methodologies including computational linguistics and qualitative social analysis. Key themes include EU-India human rights dialogues, generative AI's societal impact, and citizenship discourses in climate-vulnerable regions, reflecting her commitment to decolonial and justice-oriented scholarship.

Recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward AI-driven analysis of digital misinformation and climate-induced migration patterns, combining technical innovation with socio-political critique. This work reveals growing emphasis on cross-border governance challenges and technological mediation of human rights issues in South Asia and Europe.
