About the Speaker

Gargi Bhattacharyya

Professor of Sociology at Institute for Connected Communities, University of East London

Gargi's writing and scholarly activity has focused on changing cultures of racism and the manner in which discourses of sexuality are deployed as techniques of power. They have undertaken funded research examining: vulnerable workers and the hospitality industry; the characteristics of the 'student city'; remittance circuits; political disengagement in Birmingham; changing understandings of poverty; trade unions and the integration of migrants in Europe. They have been involved in the research teams of 'Go Home - mapping immigration controversy' (ESRC) and 'Conflict, memory, displacement' (PaCCs).
