Dr. Parvathi Wajindram is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Indian Studies, Universiti Malaya. Her research is situated within Cultural Humanities and Digital Humanities, bringing together critical humanistic inquiry with emerging digital approaches to culture and heritage. Her primary specialisation is Cultural Politics, Power and Representation, with focused expertise in the cultural construction and negotiation of power, identity, agency, and transformation. Her research examines how these dynamics are expressed and contested through cultural narratives, visual representations, media, heritage, traditional arts, and other cultural practices, particularly within minority and plural societies. Within Digital Humanities, her work focuses on the digital preservation, representation, and accessibility of cultural knowledge and heritage. She is particularly interested in digitisation, digital archives, and emerging technologies as tools for preserving cultural materials and creating new ways of accessing, interpreting, and engaging with cultural knowledge. Connecting these areas, her research explores how culture and digital transformation shape the preservation, representation, negotiation, and transformation of knowledge, identity, and cultural heritage in contemporary society.
