Sharanya Dutta is a PhD candidate in English at the Graduate Center, CUNY. Her research focuses on contemporary Anglophone South Asian novels—specifically nostalgia and dissent, states of emergency and exception, and the relationship between theory, language, and the novel form. Her work exists at the intersection of postcolonial studies, critical caste studies, transnational and world literatures, theories of the global south, and affect theory. She teaches first-year writing at Baruch College.
