Aman Kaur is a PhD student whose project aims to map critical diasporic Sikh studies relationally in the context of the settler colonial formations of Canada and the U.S. by delineating and challenging entangled narratives of diaspora, nationalism, and heteropatriarchy. This research falls within her broader scholarly and political commitments to imagining and creating alternative archives of relationality and solidarity that run counter to the discrete identity categories imposed by the nation-state.
