Sangina Patnaik

Sangina Patnaik teaches and researches in global modernism, critical legal studies, and human rights.  She is currently completing a project entitled Telling Truths: Literature, Law, and the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which draws together literary, legal, and political responses to the TRC in order to show how studying fictional narratives is a necessary component of understanding twentieth-century human rights’ increasing reliance on narrative form.
