Srishti Dutta Chowdhury

Srishti Dutta Chowdhury has a BA and MA in Comparative Literature from Jadavpur University, Kolkata. She is a second-generation refugee from East Pakistan, which has had a profound impact on how she approaches the question of agency on memory, identity-formation and down-top history-writing at large. Her research interests lie in modern South Asian history focusing on migration, displacement, refugee-migrant identities, statelessness and citizenship in connection to India and Bangladesh post-1970. She will be working with Dr. Tithi Bhattacharya.
