Kiranjot Kaur is an academic, writer and educator that currently resides in Toronto, Canada. She is a researcher that finds strength and inspiration through Sikh principles like Sangat and Seva and strives to reinvigorate academic spaces with the same divinely inspired passion.

She holds an M.A. in Religion, Culture, and Global Justice from Wilfrid Laurier University and a B.A. in the study of Religion from the University of Toronto.

She is particularly interested in how we can genuinely implement critical pedagogies into our public educational institutions. Her doctoral research focuses on bodies of literature relating to post-secular and postcolonial theories and ideas in the philosophy of religion.
Currently, she is writing her first book on postsecularity and spirituality from a Sikh lens and is actively publishing essays through other open-access platforms.
