Hi. I’m Dr Rishita Nandagiri.
I’m a feminist researcher focusing on reproductive (in)justices in the Global Souths (broadly understood), examining how reproductive lives are shaped through relations, infrastructures of care, and forms of governance.
I’m currently a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the Department of Global Health & Social Medicine, King’s College London.
I like tennis, powerlifting, fiction, & can sometimes be prevailed on to run a half-marathon to raise abortion funds.
