Jasbir Puar

About the Author

Jasbir Puar is a distinguished scholar and author whose groundbreaking work explores the intersections of queer theory, postcolonial studies, and critical race theory. As a professor at Rutgers University, she has profoundly influenced contemporary discourse on nationalism, sexuality, and geopolitics, particularly in the context of post-9/11 America. Her seminal book, Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times, introduces the concept of homonationalism, examining how Western nations leverage LGBTQ rights to justify imperialistic and racist policies. Puar's incisive analysis challenges conventional frameworks, revealing the complicitous roles of queerness in global power structures. Through her interdisciplinary approach, she continues to provoke vital conversations on embodiment, surveillance, and resistance in an era of perpetual war.
