GEETA PATEL
Geeta Patel,
Lyrical movements,
historical hauntings: gender, colonialism, and
desire in Miraji's Urdu poetry,

sexuality, translation and grief in 20th century
Urdu political and poetic movements. Her theoretical
stance, informed by queer post-colonial theory is
fashioned in
Gendering the Global Nation
(Women Unlimited, forthcoming). She translates prose
and poetry from Urdu, Hindi and Sanskrit.
Her current project,
Financing Selves,
