Biography

I am a doctoral candidate in the Department of English at Brown University and currently work as an Assistant Editor for NOVEL: A Forum on Fiction. My dissertation project titled “Sensing the Sensible: Grammars of Belief in Colonial Modernity: 1830-1960” examines shifts in the traditional states of belief created by colonial modernity in Indian and African contexts.
