Her research focuses on themes of migration, citizenship, identity, and territoriality in the context of Partition and its aftermath. Her first book, Partitioned Lives: Refugees, Migrants, Citizens in India and Pakistan, 1947-65 (Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2012), examines the reordering of national identities in post-Partition India and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Her second book, The Partition of India (Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2018), is part of the Oxford India Short Introductions series and provides a concise analysis of the Partition’s complexities. Roy is currently working on a social history of travel certificates and identification documents, exploring their role in shaping notions of citizenship in 20th-century India. She has held teaching positions at the University of Cincinnati, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Georgia Institute of Technology. Currently, at the University of Dayton, she teaches courses on Gandhi, the British Empire, religion and politics in South Asia, and core courses for history majors.
