SUPRIYA SUBRAMANI

Interested in ethics, embodied emotions, politics of knowledge and situated epistemologies. My work critically examines structural injustice in health, disrespect/othering, the ethics of belonging, and the intersections of paternalism, respect, and agency. 

My ongoing projects are concerned with how emotions, moral epistemology and everyday indignities influence one’s moral self; and how power is negotiated and challenged by individuals (patients; immigrants) in interpersonal interactions and institutions, particularly in healthcare spaces.
