She received her B.A. in English and French from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, India, and holds an M.A. in English from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. Her current research examines energy and race in contemporary dystopian science fiction from the United States, Russia and the former Soviet republics, and South Asia. In her project, she makes connections between Cold War atomic histories and modern-day dystopian imaginings of nuclear winters and climate change, which depict the disruption of social and racial hierarchies and the exploitation of natural resources. Her main areas of interest are energy and environmental humanities, critical race and ethnic studies, and the Global South. She speaks English, French, Hindi and Russian. |
