I am Associate Professor of English at Ashoka University.
I received my PhD in English with a graduate certificate in writing pedagogy from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I hold an M.A. in English from Columbia University and a B.A. in History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art.

My research and teaching focus on medieval and early modern women’s literary culture, with particular interests in friendship and religion. I have published work in academic journals such as SEL: Studies in English Literature, Medieval Feminist Forum, and Feminist Studies. My public scholarship appears in venues such as The Los Angeles Review of Books and The Hairpin. My monograph, English Women’s Spiritual Utopias, 1400–1700: New Kingdoms of Womanhood was published in 2022. I am currently working on two research projects. One is an investigation of nuns and colonialism in the British Empire. The second is a book-length comparative study of medieval religious women within Bhakti, Sufism, and Christian mysticism.
