Pratichi Chatterjee

Pratichi Chatterjee is a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney. Her work looks at the economic and political motivations behind infrastructure and redevelopment projects, and their social and environmental impacts. She is particularly interested in how proprietary claims are made by different parties in such situations to justify and challenge different forms of displacement. In her work she draws on theoretical perspectives offered by settler-colonial studies, critical legal geography, and political-economy to analyse conflicts that arise in processes of urban change.
