Just wanted to share that I will be leaving US end of May/early June. This was a tough decision to make. After considering all possibilities and some serious self-reflection about the LIFE that I want to build and have, I think this is the best decision FOR ME right now. See you, India!

This happened last week. Dr. Sri Chatterjee is in the house! "Ordinary Environments and Aesthetics in Contemporary Indian Ocean Archipelagic Writings" With my rockstar chair and committee members.

Hey y'all, I am defending my dissertation titled "Ordinary Environments and Aesthetics in Contemporary Indian Ocean Archipelagic Thinking" on March 23rd, Monday at 10 am. It is a hybrid defense. Hit me up for zoom link.

See you all, if you are around! Excited to be kickstarting the new project on anticolonial environmentalisms.

Been somewhat consistent with my blogging. Let me know if you have any thoughts or get a moment to read/browse any of these. :-) medium.com/@sritamachat...

What advice do you have for a graduate student who has only a few more months of access to institutional resources in the USA? Any advice about back-up, storage, software, writing and training programs that I should have that will help me in navigating the next phase. No job. Field: Humanities.

I have spent so many months and years just translating the primary texts for my dissertation. HOW HAVE I NEVER WRITTEN ABOUT TRANSLATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE publicly? Like, why?

If the MLA is going to suppress our ability to discuss important issues and take collective action, we can withhold our dues & stop doing service for them. Join me in pledging to not renew your membership & to resign from any governance/leadership position you hold: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Oh hey, just a thing I wanted to share with other teachers. Some of my students are using AI in a way I did not anticipate, and so I did not warn specifically against it. (Some of the warning I gave covered this in a general sense but I want to be more specific in future.) So: a lil thread.

Will you read if I write a short blog piece of 800-1000 words? Alternatively any places looking for short and hot takes?
