Personal profile

Research interests

Victorian literature; periodicals and print culture; women's writing and history; representations of empire; late 19th and early 20th century Indian literature; art and politics.
 
I joined the Department of English at the University of Bristol in January 2016, after three and a half years as a Global Research Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Study, University of Warwick. I studied at the University of Delhi, and received my PhD from the University of Kent.
 
I am currently preparing a monograph, provisionally titled 'Legible Bodies: Dress, Desire and the Female Self in Victorian Litearture and Culture', which looks at the construction of selfhood in nineteenth century literature and culture. I also have an ongoing interest in Victorian women's periodicals, as well as women's print culture in India at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries.  
 
Teaching
I currently teach on the following undergraduate units: 'Literature 1740-1900' (Y2), 'Sex and Gender at the Fin de siecle' (Y2), 'Women's Writing' (Y1), and 'Victorian Materialities' (Y3). I am also convening the MA unit 'Victorian Literature and Place'.
 
I welcome enquiries from students interested in pursuing doctoral research on nineteenth-century literature, literature of the empire, and Anglophone literatures and cultures.
