Assistant Professor of Asian Languages and Cultures
About
I work at the intersection of postcolonial Cultural Studies and theories of authoritarianism in the wake of European Fascism, with an emphasis on modern experiences of caste-based exclusion in the Global South. My intellectual journey spans two countries, the US and India. I have earned my PhD from the Department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature, University of Minnesota. Before joining my PhD program, I received an M.Phil in Women's Studies and an MA in English Literature from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. My work can be found in Postmodern Culture, Journal of Narrative Theory, Economic and Political Weekly, Contemporary Voice of Dalit, Cultural Critique and Feminist Theory and Performance.
