My research employs critical discourse analysis and a digital humanities framework to explore feminist and queer digital counterpublics through digital protest in the Global South. I specifically engage with protest hashtags to investigate questions of representation, access, identity building, and participation of gendered subaltern communities on social media platforms in the Indian context. I also study polarization, hate speech, and radicalization in digital activism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2014 Nanditha Narayanamoorthy<br><em>PhD student in the Graduate Program in Humanities<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column d-flex align-items-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full border-md border-fgs mt-3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"254\" height=\"254\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/humanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/323\/2021\/10\/Nanditha-Narayanamoorthy.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Nanditha Narayanmoorthy\" class=\"wp-image-663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/humanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/323\/2021\/10\/Nanditha-Narayanamoorthy.jpg 254w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/humanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/323\/2021\/10\/Nanditha-Narayanamoorthy-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"module\" src=\"https:\/\/futurestudents.yorku.ca\/templates\/york-undergrad-lead.js\"><\/script><york-undergrad-lead cohort=\"new_Grad\" faculty=\"gs\" faculty_program=\"gs\" header=\"Request More Information\" header_size=\"3rem\" marketing_tag=\"GS-AP-DigiAd-HUMA-FS\" recruiter=\"Eileen Watson\"><\/york-undergrad-lead>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns learnmore-block is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2024\/07\/learnmore.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11892\" style=\"width:55px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Graduate Program in Humanities at York is an exciting environment to pursue innovative, socially engaging, career-ready education.
