She has researched the length and breadth of social and ecological aspects of resources, in particular, both large, industrial, and informal, artisanal and small-scale mines and quarries, water resource management, and feminization of agriculture in rural communities. Kuntala’s publications in these areas have had impact and influenced younger generations of researchers. Her work has been used by both international and grassroots level development organizations. She has work experience in South Asian countries, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Papua New Guinea and Mongolia. Currently, Kuntala is researching how global coal sector transition can be gender-just, instead of adding the economic, social and political burdens on women in coal reliant communities, with special emphasis on the Global South.
