About me

I am an Indian classical Odissi dance performer and Assistant Professor of Enlish at Gannon University. I have earned my PhD in Rhetoric and Writing from Michigan State University. My research interests mostly center at the intersections of composition, cultural and digital rhetorics, and performance. My current research examines the use of technology as a tool of online and hybrid learning. This study helps us understand the relationship between traditional and online teaching, and the impact of mediation on pedagogic practices.

Hailing from the east Indian cultural hub, Calcutta, I received my BA in English from Presidency College (Calcutta University), and an MA in English (Postcolonial Literature) from Calcutta University.

While my artistic pursuits provides sustenance for my soul, my culinary explorations have helped me discover smells and tastes from cultures across the world.
