Biography

I am currently a Lecturer (assistant professor) Nineteenth-Century Literature at the University of York, UK. I studied in India, my home country, till 2009, when I completed a BA degree in English at Delhi University, Lady Shri Ram College. The same year I moved to Cambridge to pursue a BA (affiliated) degree in English at Lucy Cavendish College as a Gates Scholar (2009-11). I then completed a PhD in English, specializing in Victorian literature and aesthetics, at Rutgers University, New Jersey, and an MFA in Creative Writing at Minnesota State University, Mankato.

Apart from scholarship and teaching, I enjoy reading (and writing) fiction, history, taking long walks, and trying to stuff as many activities in a London day as is possible. I am currently working on my first monograph (on details in Victorian literature and aesthetics) and my first novel.
