Postdoctoral Fellow
the Research Institute for Organisational Psychology, University St. Gallen

Nilima Chowdhury is a GFF Postdoctoral Fellow at the Research Institute for Organisational Psychology, University St. Gallen. Her current research project Turn The Tide, a gender equity and wellbeing intervention study in New Zealand and Switzerland, explores the intersections between workplace culture, practices of (un)doing gender and affective-discursive meaning- and self-making. Furthermore, Nilima's aim is to theorize interconnections between the ‘ideal neoliberal/postfeminist subject’ and emotional distress and to develop psychologically more sustainable self-practices together with her research participants.
