Ipsita Dey received her BS in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2017. While an undergraduate, Dey also minored in Anthropology and conducted extensive ethnographic work for her Departmental Honors thesis. She studied the post-traumatic process of psychological recovery and identity reconstruction among South Asian domestic violence survivors in Manchester, UK. Dey hopes to continue her studies on South Asian diasporic communities in her future work in Uganda, where she will research generational narratives of political trauma and transnational expressions of identity within Ugandan-Indian communities. Broadly, Dey is interested in psychoanalysis and anthropology, cultural phenomenology, and intersubjectivity. She is looking forward to incorporating visual and audio media in her anthropological research and outreach.
