==Career & Research==
Prof. Mukherjee began her teaching career as an English Lecturer in [[Lakshmi Bai College]], New Delhi. Thirteen years later, she realized that she needed to work in a more challenging and relevant domain. She ventured into linguistics. She joined [[Osmania University]] as a Reader in the Department of Linguistics in 1982. She held many academic and administrative positions in the University; as Head of Department for two terms, Board of Studies Chairperson and Coordinator, CAS and ASIHSS programs. When she retired as the Dean, [[Faculty]] of Arts, in 2008 the department came together to publish a special volume of Osmania Papers in [[Linguistics]] in her honor. In 1986, she received the Nuffield Fellowship from the University of York to work on the migrant Bangladeshi population. It was a very interesting experience because the diaspora initially refused to open up to her since she was perceived as part of the government’s scheme to detect illegal immigrants.
The Fellowship given by the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla during 1997-1999 was a reprieve from the routine mundane teaching. she worked on the question of literacy and submitted a monograph which was published. [[IIAS]] has an excellent library and there were scholars like Krishna Sobti and Bhisham Sahni that you were interacting with, who were shaping your thought in a big way.<ref>{{Cite web |title=publications |url=https://iiit.ac.in/publications/}}</ref>
