Research interests
Atreyee’s thesis intends to rethink feminist engagements with anti-sexual harassment laws and institutional mechanisms in Indian universities, interrogating the relationship between law, justice, and everyday feminist social resistances in these university spaces.
Her broader areas of interest lie in the fields of socio-legal studies, feminist legal theory, legal ethnography, and political theory. She is also interested in Indian politics, particularly centered around issues of caste, gender and social justice.
