Dr Shriddha Shah graduated from St. Stephen’s College, University of Delhi, and went on to earn her PhD (2018) from the Department of Philosophy, University of Delhi, where she also served as a teaching assistant for four years. She has worked as an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Hindu College and Lady Shri Ram College for Women, University of Delhi.

Her doctoral thesis focused on the concept of labour from a semiological perspective. She argued that labour, as a category, has been effaced from mainstream philosophical discourse due to the rise of Modern Western dualist epistemology and metaphysics. In light of this, she contended that the analysis of labour and its related terms, such as body, habit, custom, skill, and dexterity, needs to be reconsidered to build an alternative philosophical vocabulary and discourse. Her research interests focus on interrelated issues in metaphysics, epistemology, and the socio-political domain, as well as comparative philosophy between Western and non-Western paradigms. She is also interested in philosophical perspectives that mediate between various dualisms, such as fact and value, theory and practice, and subject and object.
