Shubha is an Associate Professor in the Department of Liberal Arts, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. Her background is eclectic and interdisciplinary, having been trained in psychology but drawing on ethnographic approaches to questions around health, gender, and disability. Her research draws on a range of disciplines such as anthropology, gender studies, disability studies, and alternate paradigms within psychology such as critical and qualitative psychology. She has been engaged in qualitative explorations of local practices of healing among marginalized groups, as well as health and disability-related projects in India. Her work is framed by critical and social justice perspectives, focusing on lived experiences and the role of advocacy for social change. Currently, she is exploring questions about parenting and care in the context of autism as part of her engagement with the neurodiversity discourse in India.

#DalitStudies

Black feminist Audre Lorde in her now famous essay wrote that 'Black Feminism is not White Feminism in Blackface'. Similarly, Dalit feminism is not Bhramanical feminism. Existing outside the boundary of hegemonic femininity it provides a critique of the many exclusions Dalit and other Indian women face in everyday society and academia.
