Publication plug! A while back, wrote this chapter (that, dare I say, I am quite proud of) on political parties and democracy building for a wonderful book edited by @democracytalk.bsky.social & Dinesha Samararatne, bringing together understudied case studies for a rare, comparative intervention.
My piece for @ecprtheloop.bsky.social 's 🦋#ScienceofDemocracy series. On the two things that I think are both overused and under-theorised in the social sciences: democracy, and (multi)disciplinarities.
Had a wonderful time on Friday presenting my work on prison sexual science and criminal intimacies between prisoners in colonial India at BITS Law School in Mumbai. Next stop, Delhi!
Excited to present my work today at the Humanities and Languages Division at Ahmedabad University! Do attend if in town!
Excited to see the website is now live for my forthcoming book, The Future That Was: A History of Third World Feminism Against Authoritarianism (PUP, March 2026)

After procrastinating on this for months, here I go with my first post on this app. I finally received my confirmation today - I'm officially Dr Banerjee. 😬 So much gratitude for everyone who saw me through this, thank you for everything. @academic-chatter.bsky.social
I'm ecstatic to announce that I've been awarded the 2025 ACLS fellowship by @acls1919.bsky.social for my book manuscript The Empire and its Deviants on sexology in colonial India! Incredibly grateful! Please find more information about the book here: www.acls.org/fellow-grant...!
Honored to be given the CLAGS Fellowship Award for my book manuscript The Empire and its Deviants: Global Sexology and the Racial Grammar of Sex in Colonial India. Even more thrilled to be a part of this exciting community of scholars!
Heading out now, but what a privilege to get to honor these mentors and think about the futures of postcolonial studies
On my way to Philly now for this lovely retirement conference on Postcolonial Dreams in honor of Penn mentors this weekend!
