Salonee Bhaman

Salonee Bhaman is a Faculty Fellow at New York University's Experimental Humanities & Social Engagement department. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on gender, political economy, and social welfare, particularly examining how marginalized groups like women, drug users, sex workers, and people of color shaped care narratives amid urban divestment and welfare state renegotiation in late 20th-century America.

Previously, she held a Mellon Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Women’s and Public History at the New-York Historical Society. She earned her PhD in History (2023) from Yale University, with a certificate in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

Her work bridges transnational feminist history, cultural studies, and the history of social movements. No specific grants, labs, or awards are listed, but her research emphasizes intersectional analyses of systemic inequities and grassroots mobilization.
