I am currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at SAFI Institute of Advanced Study, Vazhayur, Kerala. I completed my postgraduate degree from Farook College (Autonomous) under the University of Calicut, and my undergraduate studies were also completed under the same university.

At present, I am pursuing my PhD at Farook College (Autonomous), University of Calicut. My doctoral research adopts a multidisciplinary approach to the study of political gender narratives, examining how gender, power, and political experience are articulated through autobiographical and narrative forms. My research interests broadly include gender studies, feminist criticism, political narratives, and life writing, with a particular focus on the representation of women’s leadership and their engagement with structures of governance and public life.

Through both my teaching and research, I remain interested in exploring the intersections of gender, culture, and political discours

FUTURE PROJECTS

Gendered Narratives of Power: Political Memory and Life Writing of Women Leaders in the Global South

This project examines the autobiographical narratives and political memoirs of women leaders in the Global South to understand how gender shapes the articulation of power, leadership, and political identity. By situating these life writings within feminist and cultural studies frameworks, the study explores how personal memory and political experience intersect in the construction of public authority. The project aims to analyse how such narratives function as critical archives that document women’s negotiations with gendered structures of governance and political representation.
