Kiran Banerjee’s current research is mainly concerned with mapping out tensions between discourses of national sovereignty and human rights as manifest in contemporary conceptions of democratic legitimacy, in particular as they relate to issues raised by immigration and the position of refugees. At present he is working on exploring the relationship of citizenship, human rights, and territoriality, in the context of contemporary democratic theory. His broader research interests include the history of political thought, political philosophy and legal theory.
Kiran received his Masters degree in the Social Sciences and his BA degree in Philosophy from the University of Chicago in 2006. Before coming to the University of Toronto Kiran pursued graduate study at the University of Virginia.
