About Arnav Adhikari
I'm a doctoral candidate in English at Brown University, where I work on the literature, media, and political history of South Asia from the 1970s to the present. In my work, I examine in particular how the afterlives of the global Cold War collide with projects of decolonization. In addition to my dissertation project, I have longstanding interests in visual culture, a field in which I have written, taught, and worked, both in the US and in India, where I was a curatorial researcher and arts writer. I am particularly passionate about the intersections of scholarly research and public dialogue, which I have explored in both my writing and through events I have moderated or hosted, whether at Brown, the Asian American Writers' Workshop, The Atlantic, or the Asia Society. As a host at NBN, I'm excited to bring these diverse interests to bear on my conversations with exciting and engaged scholars in a variety of fields, from South Asian studies to film and media to literary history.NBN Episodes hosted by Arnav:
