Her research and teaching interests intersect trauma theory, literary theory, psychoanalysis, and memory studies in contemporary literature in English (especially South Asian, South African, and Sub-Saharan African literature). Her current book project, titled The Future Life of Trauma, forthcoming in 2015 from Fordham University Press under the Idiom Series imprint, develops a new theoretical model of trauma through a comparative analysis of the drawing of new borders during the 1947 Partition of British India and the national itinerary of commemoration in post-genocide Rwanda as parallel but not equivalent cases. Her writings may be found in Textual Practice, Culture, Theory, and Critique, and The Journal of Contemporary Literature, among others. Specialization:
