ABOUT PAROMITA PATRANOBISH

My work focuses on the intellectual history of the body in modernity and the conceptual and aesthetic links between embodiment and ecology. I am currently an Assistant Professor of English, Mount Carmel College, Bangalore, where she teaches UG and PG courses, along with curating and teaching Certificate Credit research courses on Environmental Humanities, Critical Plant Studies, British Modernism, Visual Culture, and Postmodern Theory. I have previously worked as a visiting lecturer in Delhi University, Shiv Nadar University, and Ambedkar University Delhi where I designed and taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses on gender studies, Postmodernism, 19th century Anglophone literature, children’s literature, and Postcolonial literatures. I write and research on topics at the intersection of gender, embodiment, environmental humanities, disability and neurodivergence, and nonhuman ecologies. My doctoral thesis looked at disembodiment and spectrality in Virginia Woolf\'s writing, and I am currently working on a monograph on waste and environmental toxicity in South Asian speculative writing and visual culture. I also work as a freelance writer and my creative nonfiction, and book and art reviews have been published in Hakara Bilingual, The Bombay Review, Scroll, Cafe Dissensus, Stir World, The Brazen Collective, The Chakkar: An Indian Arts Review, and The Assam Tribune, among other publications.
