Assistant Professor 2213 Watkins Hall Professor Godrej joins us after completing her doctorate in political theory at Georgetown University. Her dissertation, “Toward a Cosmopolitan Political Thought: Non-Western Texts and the Methodology of Comparative Political Theory,” examines the methodological issues involved in broadening the canon of political theory to incude the study of texts from outside the Western world. Her areas of research include ancient and contemporary Indian philosophy, Gandhian political thought, contemporary liberalism, non-Western feminist thought and the political theory of globalization. Her future research projects include investigating the political philosophy of the Indian Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, as well as a comparative examination of the role of emotions in Indian and ancient Western political thought.
