Anupama Roy is a political scientist whose research interests straddle legal studies, political anthropology of public institutions and women’s studies. Her doctoral thesis completed at the State University of New York at Binghamton focused on the debates around citizenship. This continues to be an abiding research concern for her. A post-doctoral fellowship – Sir Ratan Tata fellowship – at the Institute of Economic Growth in Delhi, gave her the space and time to consolidate her PhD work and extend it towards a book manuscript. Her first book, Gendered Citizenship: Historical and Conceptual Explorations, published in 2005 by Orient Longman, emerged out of these labours. A revised paperback edition of the book was published in 2013. Her book Mapping Citizenship in India published by Oxford University Press in 2010 (reprinted in 2014), traces the life of the Citizenship Act in India, to explore legal practices surrounding citizenship and migration in India. Along the way, she co-edited a book on Poverty, Gender and Migration in South Asia, published by Sage in 2008. Her most recent publication is Citizenship in India brought out in 2016 by Oxford University Press in the Oxford India Short Introduction Series. Her research articles have appeared in various journals including, Asian Studies Review, Australian Feminist Studies, Contributions to Indian Sociology, Indian Journal of Gender Studies, Economic and Political Weekly, Critical Asian Studies, Indian Social Science Review, and Election Law Journal. She is currently working on a book manuscript on the Election Commission of India. Anupama Roy was a senior fellow in the Centre for Women’s Development Studies, before she joined the Centre for Political Studies in JNU. She has been a visiting scholar in universities in India and abroad.
