Abhipsa Chakraborty

I am an Assistant Professor of English specializing in Global Anglophone Literatures, with research and teaching interests that span modernist and postcolonial literatures, feminist theory, translation studies, and the intersections of sound, media, and politics in narrative form. Over the past several years, I have developed expertise in designing and teaching interdisciplinary courses that bring the humanities into dialogue with science, technology, and questions of global justice. My pedagogy emphasizes accessibility and cross-cultural engagement, incorporating multimodal assignments and digital tools to foster critical thinking and creativity. My first book project examines sound and aurality in twentieth-century Anglophone fiction. Previously, I held a postdoctoral fellowship at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I taught writing and communication courses with a multimodal focus. My teaching and research have been recognized with awards, but what sustains me most are the conversations with students, colleagues, and readers that open up when literature is read as a way of imagining alternative worlds. My work has been published/is forthcoming in Journal of Modern Literature, Comparative Literature Studies, Modernism/modernity, Textual Cultures, The Review of English Studies, and Sounding Out!
