At Adda | Conversation with Nivedita Menon | Seeing Academics-Politics Like a Feminist
Nivedita Menon is an Indian feminist writer and a professor of political thought at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi.[1] She previously taught at Lady Shri Ram College and the Department of Political Science at Delhi University.[1] She is known for strong positions on several political issues, including nuclear power and the Kashmir conflict.
Menon is a feminist scholar who has taught at the International Studies School of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi since 2009.[1][2][3][4] Before moving to JNU she was a teacher at Lady Shri Ram College for 15 years, and the political science department at Delhi University for seven years.[1] Menon says that the Indian feminist movement she was exposed to in college, as well as the writings of global feminists, helped her evolve a better consciousness with respect to issues of sexuality and politics.[1] She was greatly influenced by the work of global feminists like Betty Friednan, Germaine Greer and Gloria Steinem.[1]

Menon has written or edited several books about feminism and politics, including the 2004 volume Recovering Subversion: Feminist Politics Beyond the Law.[5] She also writes on current issues in the journal Economic and Political Weekly, the online news blog kafila.org, and several newspapers.[6][7]
