About Shraddha Chatterjee
I am currently a postdoctoral Visiting Scholar in Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies at University of Houston. My current research focuses on queer and trans lives and activisms in India in relation to the rise of authoritarianism in the subcontinent. In my work, I map queer and trans realities through Lacanian psychoanalysis, queer and trans of colour studies, critical theory, and anthropology, and ask larger questions around how we can understand subjectivity and political discourse. I have taught introductory and core courses in psychology and gender and sexuality studies, and I like to spend my time around dogs, bodies of water, and art.NBN Episodes hosted by Shraddha:
