Barbara Čurda is an anthropologist, and has been working as a Marie Curie fellow on the MSCA-IF-GF project GATRODI (Gender asymmetry in the transmission of Odissi dance in India – a case study) as a partnership between the University Clermont Auvergne (UCA), France and the French Institute of Pondicherry (IFP), India. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme wider the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 101033051. GATRODI examines the inequalities in the transmission of know-how in the practices of Odissi dance in India, focusing on gender-related issues. 

Barbara also currently serves as one of the co-editors for the Knowhow in a Shifting World edited volume of the HAB Methodologies book series, originally brought about through her work with GATRODI and its relationship to the IFP as one of HAB's consortium institutions. This edited volume discusses the question of knowhow, not only as an epistemic question of knowledge production but also, as overt, and or covert, process(es) of transmission and learning, in different contexts, and to address, methodologically, the prevailing binary between knowhow and knowledge.
