About Me

I  teach under-graduate courses in World Drama, African and Caribbean Theatre and Theatres of Resistance in the Department of English and Drama, at the University of Toronto. I was a Visiting Professor to the University of Toronto’s Theatre Erindale and to the Centre for South Asian Civilizations in 2018 based on my research in protest theatres in the Global North and South.

​

Before I moved to Canada, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at St. Stephen's College, University of Delhi for over a decade. I taught courses in Early Modern Drama, Modern European Drama, and Twentieth Century Poetry and Drama and tutored graduate courses in Studies in European Comedy, Shakespeare and Twentieth Century Poetry and Drama.  I was faculty advisor to the English Literary Society, Shakespeare Society, the Fine Arts Society, and held significant administrative responsibilities. I organised a non-credit course, 'An Introduction to the Arts and cultures of India,'  to introduce the students to the diverse performing arts in South Asia. I brought together subject matter experts to speak about the vision and importance of these art forms in world history. The objective of the course was ‘to foster an informed interest in the cultural heritage of India within the framework of liberal education.’

​

With my specialisation in contemporary drama, especially focussed on issues of minority discourses and subalternity  gives me a unique foundation to teach courses in both western and postcolonial cultures and in the Global South.
