Janaka’s research covers a range of fields. He is passionately interested in the question of how lived experiences through crises generate concepts; how we might examine philosophical traditions from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East as generative of theoretical and practical approaches to facilitate wellbeing; how to reduce the gap between human beings and nature; and how the impact of historical processes and events on the present day are joined together in the making of the critical. His work on wellbeing, inclusivity, and the need for harmonious relationship with nature has appeared in many anthologies.
