Amardeep Kaur

Back to People
Sessional Lecturer, Faculty of Arts and Science, University of Toronto
E-mail: amardeep.kaur@utoronto.ca

Amardeep Kaur holds a PhD in Geography from York University with a Graduate Diploma in Asian Studies. Her doctoral project explored place-making practices and translocal space among diaspora Sikhs in Hong Kong, Vancouver and Toronto. At the University of Toronto, Amardeep has taught Introduction to Sikhism and Canada-Hong Kong Migration. A multi-disciplinary scholar, her intellectual impetus is driven by opening space for decolonial geographies through vernacular Earth thought. Her work calls for a poetic approach and explores cultures and places in their multi-dimensionality.

 

Her teaching and research areas consist of 1) Geographies of Power and Resistance, 2) Postcolonial and Decolonial Theory, and 3) Asian Transnationalism and Urbanisms.
