Gendered Visual Disinformation
This PhD project investigates disinformation at the intersections of 
gender, visual communication, and political discourse. It studies how 
women politicians’ intersectional identities are targeted in false and 
misleading (visual, GenAI) content (e.g., deepfakes), and explores how 
such discourse poses new challenges for women’s political representation 
in democratic discourse and civic life. For more information >>>

Uncovering Women’s Cultural Production in India’s Marathi Film Industry 
Archives
This PhD project investigates the representation and preservation of 
feminist and women’s cultural heritage within India's Marathi film 
industry archives. We are particularly interested in projects invested 
in studying the Marathi film industry post-independence, including any 
period between 1947-2025. This project aims to (a) address the gaps in 
archival material related to women's contributions to Marathi cinema and 
(b) explore how these representations have evolved and what they reveal 
about broader industrial and socio-cultural changes over time.
