PERSONAL INFORMATION
– I am currently serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at the Centre for Distance and Online Education (CDOE). I completed my Master’s degree in English from the University of Delhi and qualified the UGC-NET examination in both 2022 and 2023. I have also cleared the GATE examination and am presently pursuing my Ph.D. from Fakir Mohan University. My academic interests lie in Literary Theory and Criticism, Indian Literature, Comparative Literature, Linguistics, American Literature, Drama, and Academic Research Methodology.
I have been actively involved in teaching and academic activities through various roles, including Guest Faculty at MSCB University, Assistant Professor at Seemanta Engineering College, Visiting Professor at the Academy of Management Studies, Gangraj, and Guest Lecturer at Arunoday +2 Residential College, Baripada. These experiences have helped me develop a strong commitment to teaching English literature and encouraging critical thinking among students.
My academic work includes authoring several Self-Learning Materials (SLM) for postgraduate English courses such as Poetry, Non-Fictional Prose, Drama, Criticism, and American Literature. I have also edited numerous academic modules and contributed chapters to different SLM publications. My research interests focus on contemporary literary studies, digital literature, and interdisciplinary approaches connecting literature with other fields.
I have presented research papers and contributed to conference proceedings and edited volumes. I have also been invited as a resource person at several departmental seminars and have served as a session chair, rapporteur, and moderator at national and international seminars. My academic journey has been supported by several honours and scholarships, including the PG Scholarship for University Rank Holders at the University of Delhi and the Hansraj IQAC Scholarship.
Through my teaching and research, I aim to contribute meaningfully to literary scholarship and inspire students to engage deeply with literature and critical inquiry.
