Pooja Sen is a scholar of contemporary art, media, and postcolonial and Marxist theory. She received her Ph.D. in History of Art and Film and Media Studies from Yale University. Her current book project, The World Builders, looks at contemporary artists who adapt nineteenth- and twentieth-century tools of colonialism, like terraforming, hydroelectric dams, aerial photographs, and seed libraries, to build the world anew. An article drawn from this project is forthcoming in Social Text. Her research has been supported by the Yale Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration and the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies. She holds a First Class Joint Honours BA in Art History and History and an MA in Art History from McGill University.
