Present preoccupations
Currently, I am employed as a postdoctoral researcher at Universität Potsdam with a project on the imperial legacies of tea. I am teaching a course on space in the Malgudi novels of R.K. Narayan in the Summer Semester of 2025. With help from GAPS, I have also started a reading group project where we read and discuss environmental humanities texts once a month (roughly). Write me an email if you want to join it.
I am also trying to read about environmental humanities, colonialism, geography, and tea while working on my monograph on publishing networks of Indian poetry and an essay on Pablo López’s fabulous new book The Ridge.
Previously…
Defended my dissertation in the summer of 2024.

Submitted my doctoral dissertation and ran in the general direction of India for a month where I lost my phone and went off the grid, in a sense.
Wrote something on Kabir (ask me for a PDF, if you want to read it)
