Sarah Nandi is a doctoral candidate at McGill University in the Department of Political Science with a focus in Gender and Women\u2019s Studies. Her research interests include knowledge production about sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in forced migration situations from \u2018above\u2019 and \u2018below\u2019. Using feminist qualitative methods, she examines questions surrounding expertise-by-training versus expertise-by-experience in humanitarian encounters, the standardization of localized experiences into global data, and the reproduction of gendered and racialized international hierarchies in agenda setting. Before coming to McGill, she read for an MSc in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies at Worcester College, Oxford where she wrote her dissertation on the tensions between humanitarian development and localized Sahrawi feminist organizing. Prior to this, she was a Fulbright-Nehru research scholar in Kolkata, India focusing on the refusal of rehabilitation programs by Hijra and women refugee survivors of sexual violence during the 1971 genocide. She is proficient in Bengali, Arabic, and French.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"people-type":[134,60],"yoast_head":"\n
