Shubhra Gururani is a faculty member in Department of Social Anthropology at York University in Toronto, Canada. As a feminist anthropologist, she is interested in feminist theory and methodology, political ecology, postcolonial theory, histories and anthropologies of socialnatures, place, race and gender, and more recently in suburban governance in the Global South. She is currently working on two projects. The first one is an ongoing project in the Indian Himalayas that ethnographically explores how the cultural politics of nature, race, and gender have come to articulate with contemporary environmental movements and politics in the Uttarakhand. The second one is a newer project, which maps unfolding the processes and politics of (sub) urbanization in India. It focuses on Gurgaon, the Millennial City of India, which lies just outside of New Delhi, and is home to countless call-centers, corporate offices, gated enclaves, and ever expanding population of labor migrants.
