He was educated in India and the UK and his work focuses on the history of knowledge-production in modern South Asia. Located within the Subaltern Studies tradition, Mukharji’s work grapples with issues of social exclusion and radical alterity as constitutive features of the histories of knowledge-making. His articles have appeared in journals such as the Comparative Studies in Society & History, Journal of Asian Studies, History of Science, Bulletin of the History of Medicine, Social History of Medicine, Indian Economic & Social History Review and so forth. Mukharji is also the author of Nationalizing the Body (Anthem, 2009) and Doctoring Traditions (Chicago, 2016). Currently he is working on a history of ‘inheritance’ in twentieth-century South Asia that blends the histories of parapsychology, genetics and the law.
