Kalindi Vora

Kalindi Vora is a Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; Ethnicity, Race, and Migration; and American Studies at Yale University. Her research bridges Science and Technology Studies (STS), critical race theory, and feminist anthropology, focusing on how technological systems perpetuate racial, gendered, and colonial inequalities. She holds a National Science Foundation grant for her project on autoimmune disorders and patient-physician knowledge co-production.

Her work examines intersections of technology, labor, and health through projects like *Surrogate Humanity* (co-authored with Neda Atanasoski), which critiques racialized AI design, and *Technoprecarious*, analyzing digital labor precarity. She also leads the NSF-funded 'Asking Different Questions' initiative training STEM researchers in social justice frameworks.

• Key Awards: 2018 Rachel Carson Book Prize (4S)
• Grants: NSF STS Award (2022-2024), Mellon Foundation Grant (Enduring Conditions Collaboratory)
• Editorial Roles: *Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience*; *Anthropology of Work*

Current research explores chronic illness narratives and autoimmunity through a justice-oriented lens, while her pedagogical work emphasizes ethical STEM design. She previously directed the Feminist Research Institute at UC Davis and held visiting fellowships at Leuphana University and Linköping University.
