She is particularly interested in visibilising indigenous feminisms, re orienting gender studies to Asian contexts, examining the praxis of everyday life over everyday spaces and in issues of gendered and epistemic violence. Anindita has published consistently in internationally known peer reviewed journals with an interdisciplinary perspective, has served as member International editorial board for Gender, Place and Culture, been invited as visiting faculty to the Department of Gender Studies, Lund University, Sweden under the Linnaeus Palme programme, has held an Erasmus Mundus fellowship in the same Dept., been invited to deliver talks and keynotes at the Royal Geographical Society and Institute of British Geographers, UK, NTNU Norway, University of Bordeaux, France, University of Iceland, Reykjavik, NIAS And University of Copenhagen, Denmark, University of Groningen, Netherlands, among others.
