Her poetry collection Small Talk was published by Writers Workshop Kolkata in 2019. She is a recipient of the David J. Travis Undergraduate Research Fund for research on Modern Italy for an independent research project on Pier Paolo Pasolini's last film, 'Salò o Le 120 giornate di Sodoma,' conducted during her time at NYU Florence. This Spring, Khetarpal was named a recipient of the prestigious and competitive Dean's Undergraduate Research Fund (DURF) Grant from NYU's College of Arts and Science for an independent research project aimed at theorising Elena Ferrante's 'smarginatura' in order to analyze the relationships between urbanity, women and sexual violence across Italy, India and the United States.
This summer, Devanshi will be participating in the Carthage Seminars and International Summer School on Cultural Pluralism and Political Liberties being organized by Reset DOC (Dialogues on Civilizations) and L'Académie Tunisienne 'Beit al-Hikma'-المجمع التونسي بيت الحكمة on the topic of 'Tolerance: Legal and Constitutional Perspectives from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.'
