Research areas

My research area includes creative practices (documentary filmmaking and video-essays), film &media studies, postcolonial and gender studies, Feminism, Indian culture, Indian epics and mythology,  Bengali language/literature/culture, English and postcolonial literature, and English language teaching.

For my current research project I'm looking at the representation of the Naxal Movement (a radical left revolutionary movement between 1967 and 1975) on Indian Screen.

For my first doctoral project I studied post-1992 Indian advertisements and how they accommodated, appropriated, and propagated a variety of received notions of the Indian nation.
