Biographical Information
I received a BA (Hons) in English at Ashoka University in India in 2021. After graduating, I spent a year teaching English in two secondary schools in Picardy, France. In 2023, I completed a master’s degree in Comparative Literature at University College London. Prior to coming to Cambridge, I worked for two years as a lectrice d’anglais at the Sorbonne in Paris.
My PhD will be supervised by Professor Clare Pettitt, and is generously co-funded by the Open-Oxford-Cambridge AHRC DTP and Newnham College.
