Saumya situates herself as a striving theorist and a translator/popularizer within the Communications Studies discipline. To this end, they approach new media technologies with diverse theoretical and methodological approaches. These include critical/cultural studies, digital humanities, discourse analysis, autotheory, and media criticism from an intersectional feminist, decolonial, and queer perspective. In their work on new media technologies, they excavate possibilities, ephemeral or otherwise, of critical social, interpersonal, and transcultural futurities. Finally, she centers a genealogical framework of approaching situated knowledge in her methodology.
