I completed my BA and MA in English at Jadavpur University (2006–11), where I received the Indu Bhusan Putatunda and Shanti Sudha Putatunda Memorial Award in 2008. I then completed an MPhil at the Centre for English Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, in 2014. I was fortunate to receive a full scholarship to pursue a PhD at Queen’s University Belfast, where I explored representations of Hinduism in eighteenth-century British literature. After receiving my degree in 2018, I began my journey as an Assistant Professor of English at St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata.
My research and teaching interests include eighteenth-century literature, postcolonial studies, fantasy fiction, digital cultures, and rock music. I have published in UGC-CARE-listed and Scopus-indexed journals such as dialog, Postcolonial Studies, and Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, and have contributed chapters to edited volumes published by Routledge, Springer, and Atlande, Paris. I am also a writer, with poetry and non-fiction published in Poetry Ireland and The Tangerine (Belfast). Beyond academia, I am an avid, albeit amateur, musician and sportsperson, fond of playing guitar in rock groups and keeping up with football.
