Biography
Even though I have been trained in English literature for the first few years of my academic life, my current research interests lie in the realm of cross-cultural and interdisciplinary studies of different literatures, which is why for my doctoral project on 20th century Bengali literary radicalism I chose an Area studies department. For my dissertation, I am studying the reception of the global 60s moment in the context of Bengal. I wish to initiate a dialogue between literary discourses from the global effervescence of this world historical moment and the various genres and concerns of this local chapter in the newly decolonized subcontinent.
