Bio/Research
Dr. Jamal’s research highlights the new types of citizen-subjects that are emerging from the complex interplay of gender, race, religion and sexuality with changing global economic, political and cultural relations. She is presently investigating the dilemmas of feminist and progressive Muslim politics and poetics in South Asia which are threatened by diverse hegemonic discourses and multiple forms of violence emanating from local, national and global interests. The aim is to explicate how territorial classifications such as religious/secular; Muslim/Hindu; woman/feminist; moral/transgressive emerge in particular sites and to disrupt the cultural, political and scholarly flows that naturalize these categories. She received a SSHRC Connections Grant (with J. Ku and M. Khan) for a symposium on 'Critical Diasporic South Asian Feminisms' in July 2021.
