Senior Writing Fellow
Ph.D. Geography, University of DelhiMaria Anne Fitzgerald is feminist geographer working at the intersection of social, cultural, gender and young people’s geographies. Her research interests include space-identity dialectics, auto-ethnography, visual methods, DEIJ advocacy research and feminist pedagogy. Her doctoral study documented the lived experiences of young people from cross-cultural families in India.
Maria has also worked on foregrounding the regionalisation and cultural politics of the Anglo-Indian Community in India. She is committed to understanding how community politics and everyday experiences produce narratives of inclusion/exclusion among marginalised groups in society.
Her writing is honed by experiences of difference and belonging while growing up in a cross-cultural family, across small-town Thiruvalla, post-colonial Calcutta and metropole Delhi. Some of these narratives are posted on her collaborative blog ‘makingspace’. She has published in Economic & Political Weekly and How to Foster Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice in Geography (Edward Elgar Publishing).
