I am a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Modern Languages at All Souls College, specialising in German and Comparative literature, audio/visual culture, and critical theory. My book Conceptions of Hearing in German Modernist Culture is under contract with Legenda, due to appear in 2027. I have written on a range of modernist writers and artists including Kafka, Rilke, Benjamin, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Robert Walser. 

I am now working on a second book, Leading to India, about the meeting of German-language modernism with the culture of the Indian subcontinent in literary writing, film and cultural spaces, c. 1890-1945. 

I was raised in Belfast (Northern Ireland) in a South Indian family and maintain an interest in Irish and Northern Irish writing, culture and politics, especially with regard to post-migrant culture. As someone who first encountered German at school, I am passionate about teaching German literature, culture and language, and enjoy teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level for the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages at Oxford.
