About

Chakshu Gupta holds a PhD in English from the School of Languages and Literature, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra, Jammu and Kashmir, India. Her research interests include Cultural Studies, with a focus on Indian Speculative Fiction, Posthumanism(s), and Biopolitics. Her research examines Indian speculative fiction as a meta-generic mode of critical inquiry and cultural imagination, exploring its capacity to engage with the questions of technology, ecology, and contemporary socio-political gravitas. Her work highlights the transgressive potential of speculative narratives as a material-discursive site of knowledge-making, disruption, and reorientation.
