Bio

Sheila Batacharya teaches and writes. She grew up on Royal Windsor Drive, two kilometres from the Pittsburgh Plate Glass of Canada factory in Clarkson where her father worked as a chemical engineer from the late 1960s until he retired in the 1990s. Batacharya’s work about embodiment is shaped by paying attention to race and, colonization, and by examining perception as inextricably socially constructed, but more than just discursive.
