Banerjee's research critically examines intersections of gender, law, and ethnonationalism through frameworks of postcolonial feminism and subaltern studies. Key areas include reproductive justice in India, Foucauldian analyses of power, and secularism under Hindutva politics. Her methodology emphasizes epistemic heterogeneity in feminist movements and challenges homogenizing narratives of victimhood.
Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal consistent focus on Indian feminist jurisprudence, with emerging trends analyzing abortion politics through compassion frameworks and secularism debates via landmark court cases like Hadiya. Her work demonstrates growing engagement with comparative welfare citizenship models.

She currently contributes as Researcher to the five-year project "Welfare Citizenship and Intersectional Feminism in Britain, 1940-2000" (2023-2028), examining historical welfare systems through intersectional lenses. The project, led by Principal Investigator S. Nasar, represents significant ongoing research funding despite unlisted grant sources.
