Subashini Gordon

Subashini Gordon is a guest in 2024. Subashini is currently enjoying working on the BUSSIN (Building Global South South Solidarities to Address Inequities) Archive Project as a Post Doctoral Research Associate. The project is led by Dr. Geetha Reddy of The Open University (UK). The project focuses on the decoloniality of time and the body by exploring colonially constructed archival material of Indian indentured labourers. The intention is to redress generational inequities and foster long-term solidarities between communities in South Africa and Malaysia.          

Previously, Subashini worked as a Post Doctoral Research Fellow on the Andrew. W. Mellon Spatial Humanities Project at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). Subashini has a Master’s (2011) and PhD in Sociology from UKZN (2023). Her doctoral research focused on transnationalism, identity, and notions of ‘home’ of South Africans of Indian descent living in Australia.
