I completed my M.A. and Ph.D. in English Literature from Aligarh Muslim University in 2009 and 2015, respectively. My doctoral research focused on the study of Postcolonial Drama in the light of Michel Foucault's discourse on power. Before joining the Department of English as a regular faculty at Aligarh Muslim University in 2019, I worked as guest faculty and as well as on ad hoc in the same Department from August 2013 to November 2014. I have also worked for some time as a content writer in Mumbai and as an assistant professor in Punjab. I have published few research papers, articles, and translations in both Hindi and English. I have also authored one monograph, which has been published by Sir Syed Academy of Aligarh Muslim University. My research interests lie in the area of Postcolonial Studies and Film Studies. In 2016, I attended a summer course in Film Appreciation at Film and Television Institute of India, Pune. Since January 2021, I have been working on 'the Non-fiction Cinema of Pre-Independence' India under a one-year-long Research Fellowship Project offered by the National Film Archive of India, a media unit of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting.
