I am a Researcher in my second MA in Theology (Continental Philosophy, Theology and Psychoanalysis) at GCAS, Dublin. I was admitted to the Postgraduate Certificate in Transdisciplinary Studies at The New Centre for Research and Practice during the Summer of 2024 on a 70% scholarship. I am also a freelance academic and content writer, tutor and a data annotator for AI systems for a private company. Previously, I have completed two years of PhD coursework in English at Ashoka University and one year of MPhil coursework at Jadavpur University. At Ashoka, my research was on the history of Spiritualism (and its techno-religious allegories), nineteenth century science and on Western Esotericism and Occultism. My work attempts to decode the semiotics of vision, opacity and enchantment in the representation and spectacle of new technologies in the Universal and Colonial Exhibitions and the epistemologies with which they contributed to the techno-religious allegories of Spiritualism. Subsequently, at Jadavpur University, my work focused on the technics of the nonhuman in 19th century and early 20th century texts and also on readings of disruptive and fractured temporalities and selves in 19th and 20th century literatures. I plan to apply to select Universities in Western Academia especially in the USA, UK, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands and Canada for Fall 2027/28.

I completed my Master’s and BA(Hons) in English from Jadavpur University in Kolkata. Subsequently, I have worked in the private sector and have written numerous educational blogs and articles which have been published online. I have written quite a few articles which are forthcoming from 2027 onwards from peer-reviewed international journals and am also a graduate member of numerous scholarly associations related to my research interests. I have previously presented at and am also writing for many international conferences and have already written about thirty semester research papers for my MA and PhD coursework all of which are publishing ready. I also intend to publish my MPhil dissertations as two separate monographs very soon. My research interests are in the Long Nineteenth Century, science, pseudo and weird sciences and occultism at the fin de siècle, the histories of Mesmerism, Hypnosis, Spiritualism, Theosophy and Western Esotericism, Radical Orthodoxy, Postmodern and Eco-theology, Philosophical and Techno-theology, European Decadence and Symbolism, Speculative Fiction at the fin de siècle, the history of Exhibitions and Museum Practices, German Idealism and its legacy in contemporary Continental Philosophy, Deleuze and New Materialisms, the Frankfurt School, Walter Benjamin and Critical Theory, Imperial, Colonial and Postcolonial Gothic, Horror, Weird and the Supernatural, Tantric Traditions and Folklore in the Indian sub-Continent and South Asian and Nordic science fiction and the Anthropocene.
