Sanghamitra is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the department of Anthropology and the Committee on Southern Asian Studies at the University of Chicago. Her doctoral dissertation investigated the politics of sickle cell management in India, a rare genetic blood disorder that is biomedically characterized as primarily affecting Dalit-Bahujan and Indigenous/Adivasi communities in India. By centering on lived experiences, this research highlights alternative Indigenous articulations of social, economic, medical, and environmental justice that trouble biotech-centric public health interventions for marginalized communities. Sanghamitra’s broader work investigates how notions of social difference—emanating in Race, Caste, and Indigenous positionalities—are essentialized through biogenetic discourses that then structure global and local political economies of health.
