Aparna Parikh is Associate Teaching Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Asian Studies at the Pennsylvania State University. As a feminist urban geographer, her work examines belonging and violent exclusions from urban environments shaped by globalization, climate change, and ethnonationalism. She is currently looking at knowledge production and lived experiences of Mumbai's mangrove landscapes, and on exclusionary vegetarian housing in India. Aparna collaborates on several interdisciplinary endeavors: a Sawyer project on ethnonationalism, an initiative on advancing creative methods to study climate change; and as co-convenor of the South Asian Urban Climates collective.
