About
I am a Professor (Assistant) of English (Communication Skills and Verbal Ability) at Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India. My teaching focuses on academic and professional communication, equipping students with advanced skills in research writing, rhetoric, and workplace discourse.
My research is situated in Environmental Humanities, where I examine the intersections of Romanticism, climate change, ecoanxiety, and literary psychology. I am particularly interested in how environmental crises reshape imagination, subjectivity, and narrative form. My broader scholarly engagements include literary theory, translation studies, and the evolving role of AI in literary pedagogy.
Beyond academia, I write as a columnist and engage in creative writing — poetry and short fiction as well as visual arts — painting and photography.
