Madhumita Dutta studies labor issues with a focus on women workers in India, including garment factory employees, bidi (hand-rolled cigarette) workers, and communities affected by industrial disasters like the Bhopal Union Carbide gas leak. The research examines how workers organize, resist, and experience daily life in export-oriented factories and precarious jobs, often using feminist and geographic perspectives. This work would suit students interested in labor studies, gender and work, global supply chains, and qualitative fieldwork methods in the Global South.
