About
I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies here at 糖心TV, who specialized in contemporary anglophone literatures of the Indian Ocean. My doctoral thesis鈥攅ntitled Sea of Stories: Writing Wider Worlds with Indian Ocean Literature鈥�traces oceanic imaginaries across the region's various littoral zones, bringing together texts from seemingly disparate cultural contexts around the shared space of the ocean.
