Professor Nidhi Menon

Profile

Dr. Nidhi Menon is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of New Brunswick. Her work is grounded in poststructural and marginalized feminist ontologies, feminist ethics of care, and critical analyses of power, and is informed by social justice education, as well as poststructural, Third World, and Global South feminisms. As an immigrant scholar, she brings both scholarly insight and lived experience to her work, particularly in relation to immigrant and refugee education, multilingualism, and teacher education in early years and elementary contexts. Working closely with young newcomer children, their families, and racially minoritized educators, Dr. Menon centers their lived experiences in both research and practice. Her scholarship foregrounds the voices and knowledge of communities often devalued in dominant discourses, drawing on women-of-colour perspectives to challenge normative constructions of childhood and to advance more equitable and inclusive educational practices.
