  Mayurakshi Chaudhuri's research interests lie in exploring how South Asian, particularly Indian, migrants and transnational migrants negotiate their gendered power relations across international borders and within transnational spaces. Chaudhuri's dissertation research focuses on how and why a particular group of Asian Indian transnational migrants negotiate their gendered power geographies of spousal and family relations, and, in doing so, how and why these gendered power relations are transfigured. Chaudhuri's ten-month long fieldwork in India and in the U.S. was funded by the Doctoral Evidence Acquisition Fellowship awarded by Florida International University. Chaudhuri's other research forte is qualitative research methods. Throughout her graduate career, Chaudhuri has received extensive training in qualitative methods, data collection and analysis which she applies in her dissertation research. She is well-versed with qualitative techniques such as pattern- and theme- identification in the data, and coding and sub-coding techniques. Mayurakshi Chaudhuri is the recipient of the Trans-Atlantic Summer Institute in European Studies—Graduate Student Fellowship (TASI), 2010. The fellowship was presented by the Center for German & European Studies at the University of Minnesota, and funded by the University of Minnesota and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
