She teaches in the Department of Sociology,[2] the Graduate Programme in Social and Political Thought, and the Graduate Programme in Women's Studies at York University in Canada. She is also known for her activist work and poetry. She received her B.A. and M.A. in English from Visva-Bharati University and Jadavpur University respectively, and her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto.
Bannerji works in the areas of Marxist, feminist and anti-racist theory.[3] She is especially focused on reading colonial discourse through Karl Marx's concept of ideology, and putting together a reflexive analysis of gender, race and class. Bannerji also does much lecturing about the Gaze and othering and silencing of women who are marginalized.
Her novella, Coloured Pictures, teaches children about confronting racism.[4]
In addition to her work in the academy, Bannerji has also published in a variety of venues to reach different audiences. Two of her articles have been published in Rungh Magazine.[5][6]
