Biography
Mallika Khanna is a PhD student at The Media School studying intergenerational trauma as a racializing discourse in the United States. Stitching together objects across a wide range of digitized sites including social media sites, blogs, apps and streaming platforms, her dissertation considers how racialized bodies are taking on new meanings through emerging understandings of trauma as epigenetically inherited. Her work thus straddles many disciplines and fields, including medical humanities, technology studies, media studies and critical ethnic studies.
