Inderpal Grewal onderzoekt de ingewikkelde verbanden tussen transnationalisme, feminisme en neoliberale krachten. Haar werk duikt in de manieren waarop naties, gender en imperia in een mondiale context worden gevormd, vaak door culturele reizen en verhalen. Door middel van precieze analyse onthult ze hoe concepten als thuis en identiteit voortdurend worden onderhandeld en hervormd. Haar schrijven biedt diepgaande inzichten in de dynamiek van macht en cultuur in de huidige onderling verbonden wereld.
