- Debangana Chatterjee is currently anassistant professor (Social Science)at the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru. Previously, she worked as an assistant professor at the Centre for Research in Social Sciences and Education (CeRSSE), JAIN (Deemed-to-be University). An ICSSR Short-term Doctoral Fellowship recipient, her specialisation is in the field of gender and culture vis-̉-vis international politics. In her doctoral thesis, awarded at the Centre for International Politics Organization and Disarmament (CIPOD), Jawaharlal Nehru University, she has tried to locate the existing Indian discourse surrounding the practices of Female Genital Cutting and Islamic veiling, viewed through the larger frame of international politics. Her recent article published in the prestigious Economic and Political Weekly explores the politics of sanctions and their racial tilting in the context of ongoing Russia-Ukraine War. A regular columnist at print and digital news platforms including The Telegraph, moneycontrol.com, Scroll.in, NewsClick.in, and The Wire, her writings, which focus on pertinent issues on gender, reflect her stance on politics, women's rights, and the struggle for gender parity.
