Statement of Interest:
I am interested in contributing to Posthuman literature, especially from academic background in Political Science and Global Politics. I am curious to learn from inspiring Posthuman thinkers, researchers, academicians from India and beyond. I am hopeful to draw inspirations from the rich intellectual traditions from the Indian subcontinent, and apply those to enrich Posthuman scholarship. I wish to contribute my bit to make India one of the key hubs of Posthuman thought and practice. I am looking for Postdoc and Teaching Positions, Academic Collaborations, and similar professional opportunities on interested areas of research.
