Senior Writing Fellow
PhD Geography, University of Delhi
Maria 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 and she has also worked on foregrounding the regionalisation and cultural politics of the Anglo-Indian Community in India. Across her scholarship, she is committed to understanding how community politics and everyday experiences produce narratives of inclusion/exclusion among marginalised groups. 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. She has published in Economic & Political Weekly and in an edited volume, How to Foster Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice in Geography, published by Edward Elgar Publishing.
