Uddipana Goswami
I am a writer and feminist peace researcher, currently teaching at the School of Conflict Management, Peacebuilding and Development at Kennesaw State University. I have a PhD in Sociology from Jawaharlal Nehru University. My academic works include Gendering Peace in Violent Peripheries: Marginality, Masculinity, and Feminist Agency (Routledge 2023) and Conflict and Reconciliation: The Politics of Ethnicity in Assam (Routledge 2014). I am also author of two collections of short fiction set against the violent conflicts of Northeast India and two poetry collections that dwell on the intersections of personal and political violence. My Fulbright postdoctoral research (2016-2018) at the University of Pennsylvania was on gender and ethnonationalist conflicts. As an interdisciplinary academic, I publish widely in the fields of conflict, peace, ethnicity, social identity, media, gender, South Asia, Northeast India, and writing & literary studies.
A former journalist and editor, I worked for over a decade with several multinational and hyperlocal media groups, from National Geographic Channel to Seven Sisters Post. With my scholar-practitioner’s approach, I’ve earlier taught at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Guwahati College, University of Pennsylvania, Curtis Institute of Music, and the Johns Hopkins University.
