Chetna Khandelwal (she/her)

Chetna Khandelwal is a PhD student at the Department of Sociology, University of Calgary. She is a qualitative researcher interested in social movements, Southern theory, immigration, marginal feminist place-making, and speciesism. Her work appraises discourse pertaining to social and political discontent across the Global North and Global South, with an emphasis on the work of activism. For her future projects, she intends to explore the ways in which intersecting social locations of activists influence their access to protest spheres as well as the differential strategies employed within activism from the margins as opposed to the mainstream. She’s also interested in the intersections of environmentalism with animal rights, decoloniality, and anti-racism.
