Sanjukta Mukherjee is Associate Professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at DePaul University, Chicago. Her research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of transnational feminisms, postcolonial and decolonial theory, critical international development, and urban geographies, focused on neoliberal globalization and gendered and racialized labor. She is deeply committed to feminist collaborative research methodologies and pedagogies. Sanjukta is currently exploring transnational migration and attendant notions of age, aging and care in the global south. She is particularly interested in how personal, familial, and institutional perceptions of age reflect the social, economic, and political transformations in urban India. She joined the Carework Network Steering Committee in 2025 and is Co-Chair of the Awards committee.
