In her research project, titled “Protesting Women, Performing Women: Gendering Public Spaces and Transforming Languages,” Sen studies the culture of resistence among women in India. Specifically, she analyzes scripts, posters, and songs from the 1980s and 1990s to better understand the language of protest and how it was relevant to each time period, as well as how the language of performance acts as freedom of expression for the artists who created the materials.
