Kaushik Ramu currently works as assistant professor for literary and cultural studies at FLAME University, India, in the Department of Humanities and Languages. He is broadly interested in how literary experiences bear on our ways of sensing and understanding the world. More specifically, his research interests include world literature with a focus on how ideas, forms, and capital flows are entangled in modern history, especially in the novel; literary and critical theory, addressing the relation between aesthetics, politics, and interpretation; and the environmental humanities—in particular themes of degrowth and the commons, and structural links between utopian and dystopian visions. His current research—in progress or under review—is on natural history in postcolonial fiction, psychoanalytic approaches to anxiety, and the discontents of post-World War II socialism. At FLAME University, he has taught courses on literary history, critical theory, research methods, science fiction, and environmental literature.
