Premilla Nadasen

Premilla Nadasen is an American historian and professor at Barnard College, Columbia University, whose research focuses on the history of care work, social movements and grassroots activism in America. Her scholarship examines how domestic workers, welfare rights activists and other marginalised communities have organised for dignity and justice. Nadasen's writing combines rigorous historical research with a deep commitment to social justice, illuminating stories that are often left out of mainstream historical narratives. Her books and audiobooks offer readers and listeners important, well-researched accounts of the people who have fought for fair treatment in the care economy.
