Tania Roy is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and coordinates the Graduate Programme in Literary Studies. She has a doctorate in Political Theory from Duke University, where her interdisciplinary engagement with literature was advanced through a Gerst Fellowship in Economic, Political and Humanistic Thought. At NUS, she teaches topics in Critical Theory, especially the aesthetics of the Frankfurt School, trauma studies, postcolonial and world literatures. Related interests on contemporary art and biopolitics in South-East Asia, legacies of the twentieth-century Anglophonic realist novel on the subcontinent, and art after the liberalisation of the Indian economy considered, especially, as a response to civic violence under the current dispensation of far-right supremacism have appeared as book chapters and articles in journals including boundary 2, Theory, Culture and Society, Political Culture, The European Legacy and The Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy.
