Research
Her doctoral research situated broadly within the areas of Gender and subjectivity studies is interdisciplinary in nature. It has attempted to study the gendered linguistic subjectivity construction in South Asia taking the political and literary discourses of Tamil modernity, more specifically of the period of 1930s-60s, as a case study. Before that, she has worked on Gender and Postcolonial theory for her M.Phil. research. She is interested in exploring the various domains of Tamil culture like language, literature, politics, folk religious cults and cinema with a specific focus on the role of gender in them.
