Sadhvi Dar
Sadhvi Dar is Reader in Interdisciplinary Management and Organisation Studies at the School of Business and Management, Queen Mary University of London, UK. Sadhvi's academic training crosses different fields of study including psychosocial and psychoanalytic psychology, fine art, management studies, and critical development studies. Since early on in her scholarship she has found inspiration in postcolonial studies, decolonial theory, chicana feminisms, and Black liberation philosophies. This resonance has much to do with her own positionality as a daughter of Indian middle-class migrants who made their way to the UK in the 1960s and 1970s. She is a founding member of the activist groups, Decolonizing Alliance and Building the Anti-Racist Classroom collective (BARC).
