Anjali Arondekar is Professor of Feminist Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Founding Co-Director of the Center for South Asian Studies, UCSC. Her research engages the poetics and politics of sexuality, colonialism and historiography, with a focus on South Asia. She is the author of For the Record: On Sexuality and the Colonial Archive in India (Duke University Press, 2009, Orient Blackswan, India, 2010), winner of the Alan Bray Memorial Book Award for best book in lesbian, gay, or queer studies in literature and cultural studies, Modern Language Association (MLA), 2010. Her second book, Abundance: Sexuality's History (Duke University Press, 2023), grows out of her interest in the archival figurations of sexuality, caste and empire in colonial British and Portuguese India.
