About
Research Profile
My research builds new intellectual connections between literary studies and contemporary environmental, health, cultural, and social challenges through interdisciplinary analytical frameworks that bring ideas, methods, and perspectives from different disciplines into productive dialogue. This approach informs my work across Environmental Humanities, Health Humanities, Indian English and Postcolonial Literatures, and Indigenous Literary Studies, while also shaping my teaching, mentorship, and creative practice.
