Elizabeth Chatterjee is a historian of energy and the environment, with a focus on India from 1900 to the present. Her work explores how non-Western energy histories challenge conventional understandings of capitalist development, the social dynamics of climate change, and green political thought. Before joining the Department of History, Chatterjee was a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Chicago’s Franke Institute for the Humanities, and a tenure-track lecturer at Queen Mary University of London. She is a non-resident Fellow of the Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and a regular public commentator on South Asian affairs.
